Hi Geert,

Thank you for the patch!

I think the initial intension was to select MPTCP to have an easy way to 
enable all KUnit tests. We imitated what was and is still done in 
fs/ext4/Kconfig.

But it probably makes sense to depend on MPTCP instead of selecting it. 
So that's fine for me. But then please also send a patch to ext4 
maintainer to do the same there.
