VIMC module not available (CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC not set)

Bug description:
== SRU Justification ==
VIMC is a virtual media controller that can emulate a real media device.
This is useful for automated tests, and development of multimedia frameworks.
== Fix ==
Enable VIMC as a module in B/D/E kernel configs.
== Test ==
Test kernels could be found here:
https://people.canonical.com/~phlin/kernel/lp-1831482-cfg-vimc/
User has reported that the Eoan kernel works as expected.
I have also smoke tested the B/D kernel to make sure the VIMC modules
can be loaded properly.
== Regression Potential ==
Low, this patchset enables the VIMC module support, we might see some
bug reports against this module in the future. However the acutal impact
for a non-vimc user should be minimum.
There is a null pointer deference issue was found while inserting the
vimc module on some system (lp:1840028), it will be handled in that bug.
== Original Bug report ==
The Multimedia VIMC module provides a test interface for the linux-media
media controller framework.
This is useful for automated tests, and development of multimedia frameworks.
Other components similar to this such as VIVID (CONFIG_VIDEO_VIVID=m) are
enabled, but VIMC is missing from the linux-modules packages:
$ grep VIMC /boot/config-*
/boot/config-4.15.0-32-generic:# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC is not set
/boot/config-4.17.9-041709-generic:# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC is not set
/boot/config-4.18.4-041804-generic:# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC is not set
/boot/config-4.18.7-041807-generic:# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC is not set
/boot/config-5.0.0-13-generic:# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC is not set
/boot/config-5.0.0-15-generic:# CONFIG_VIDEO_VIMC is not set
Could this be enabled in future releases as a module please?
I'm running Ubuntu 19.04, with Ubuntu 5.0.0-13.14-generic 5.0.6,
however I believe this issue affects all current Ubuntu kernel
releases.
