Describe the bug

ip mptcp endpoint can't add IPv6 addresses.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

The reason is that CONFIG_MPTCP_IPV6 isn't enabled for the kernel compile configuration.

Device (s)

Raspberry Pi 5

System

Kernel: 6.6.62+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.62-1+rpt1 (2024-11-25) aarch64 GNU/Linux

Logs

This is effectively a duplicate of #5487, which was rejected. The fundamental facts haven't changed in the last 18 months - MPTCP_IPV6 still requires that IPV6 is built-in (CONFIG_IPV6=y). Last time I checked, this caused a kernel size increase of ~500kB, which is quite a punishment for the majority of people who don't use IPV6 - it's worst on small-memory platforms like Pi Zero 2.
