Some users have been having a hard time finding the hidden menus. A typically case are camera sensor drivers (e.g IMX219, OV5645, etc), which are common on embedded platforms and not really "ancillary" devices. The problem with MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT seems to be related to the fact that it uses the "visible" syntax to hide the menus. This is not obvious and it normally takes some time to figure out. To fix the problem, add a comment on each of hidden menus, which should clarify what option is causing menus to be hidden.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
