Generally drivers are unselected by default and cvs is no exception.

What I think we could possibly do is to add to cvs Kconfig:

	default VIDEO_INTEL_IPU6

As the cvs driver is (at least right now) used with ipu6 driver only. That
being said, there are probably dozens of configuration options you need to
select to have a functional camera so doing this for cvs only won't make a
lot of difference. I presume it was just a coincidence this happened on
Arch.

This is still a configuration option that make oldconfig will ask about so
it won't be silently ignored as when MEDIA_HIDE_ANCILLARY_SUBDRV was
selected.
