Fixes: 010b430d5df5 ("mptcp: MPTCP_IPV6 should depend on IPV6 instead of selecting it")
This patch is not really needed because AFAICS this commit here above has not been backported to v5.9. It is only in v5.10-rc1.

But you can also keep this patch, it doesn't hurt: without this commit 010b430d5df5 ("mptcp: MPTCP_IPV6 should depend on IPV6 instead of selecting it"), CONFIG_MPTCP_IPV6=y selects CONFIG_IPV6=y. In other words, adding "CONFIG_IPV6=y" here in the selftests config is redundant if you don't have this commit 010b430d5df5 but not wrong.
Note that if you also want to backport this commit 010b430d5df5 ("mptcp: MPTCP_IPV6 should depend on IPV6 instead of selecting it"), you will need commit 0ed37ac586c0 ("mptcp: depends on IPV6 but not as a module") as well.
