Merge tag 'kconfig-v5.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kconfig updates from Masahiro Yamada:
- add 'yes2modconfig' and 'mod2yesconfig' targets (useful mainly for
turning syzbot configs into more modular ones as a step to minimizing
the result)
- sanitize help text
- various code cleanups

kconfig: fix nesting of symbol help text
kconfig: distinguish between dependencies and visibility in help text
kconfig: list all definitions of a symbol in help text
kconfig: Add yes2modconfig and mod2yesconfig targets.
kconfig: use $(PERL) in Makefile
kconfig: fix too deep indentation in Makefile
kconfig: localmodconfig: fix indentation for closing brace
kconfig: localmodconfig: remove unused $config
kconfig: squash prop_alloc() into menu_add_prop()
kconfig: remove sym from struct property
kconfig: remove 'prompt' argument from menu_add_prop()
kconfig: move prompt handling to menu_add_prompt() from menu_add_prop()
kconfig: remove 'prompt' symbol
kconfig: drop T_WORD from the RHS of 'prompt' symbol
kconfig: use parent->dep as the parentdep of 'menu'
kconfig: remove the rootmenu check in menu_add_prop()
