Correct.

Yes, it is enabled and I have only tested with it enabled:
$ rg CONFIG_VIDEO_OV05C linux-oem-6.14/.config
CONFIG_VIDEO_OV05C=m
That's the Ubuntu linux-oem-6.14 kernel. You can get the full source and .config
I tested by running the following commands:
git clone https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-oem-6.14 -b applied/6.14.0-1006.6
cd linux-oem-6.14
python debian/scripts/misc/annotations -e --arch amd64 > .config
make olddefconfig
Let me know if that works.
