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
