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.
