yup - my bad - not clear how I came to that conclusion, guess it was due
to the indirection of VIDEO_M5MOLS needing !CONFIG_MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT

Step-by-step its:

0) x86_64_defconfig
  Depends on: MEDIA_SUPPORT [=n] && I2C [=y] && VIDEO_V4L2 [=n] && VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API [=n] && MEDIA_CAMERA_SUPPORT [=n]

1) <M> Multimedia support  --->
 Depends on: MEDIA_SUPPORT [=m] && I2C [=y] && VIDEO_V4L2 [=n] && VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API [=n] && MEDIA_CAMERA_SUPPORT [=n]

2)    [*]   Cameras/video grabbers support
 Depends on: MEDIA_SUPPORT [=m] && I2C [=y] && VIDEO_V4L2 [=m] && VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API [=n] && MEDIA_CAMERA_SUPPORT [=y]

3)    [*]   Media Controller API (NEW)
      [*]   V4L2 sub-device userspace API (NEW)
 Depends on: MEDIA_SUPPORT [=m] && I2C [=y] && VIDEO_V4L2 [=m] && VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API [=y] && MEDIA_CAMERA_SUPPORT [=y]

So now all listed dependencies are satisfied but the M-5MOLS drive is not
visible du to default CONFIG_MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT=y

Not sure how I ended up with the VIDEO_IR_I2C dependency - which as you 
state - is wrong. though VIDEO_M5MOLS probably needs a 
!CONFIG_MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT in the dependency list though.

thx!
