Many users have been complaining about not being able to find certain menu options. One such example are camera sensor drivers (e.g IMX219, OV5645, etc) which are common on embedded platforms and not always ancillary devices. The problem with MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT seems to be related to the fact that it uses the "visible" kbuild syntax to hide entire group of drivers. This is not obvious and, as explained above, not always desired. To fix the problem, drop the "visible" and stop hiding any menu options. Users skilled enough to configure their kernel are expected to be skilled enough to know what (not) to configure anyway.
