As far as I recall, the behavior you want is the default behavior, and
has been for a long time.

The control frame is only not selected if it is already existing and
iconified, or if `ediff-use-long-help-message' is set to a non-nil
value, or if your window manager prevents Emacs from setting input
focus.

Could one of these points be true for you?
