Thank you for backporting this patch.

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.
I'll drop the selftests fix then, thanks for the heads-up!
