One of the changes in Sphinx 5.0.0 [1] says [sic]: 5.0.0 final - #10474: language does not accept None as it value. The default value of language becomes to 'en' now. [1]: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes.html#release-5-0-0-released-may-30-2022 It results in a new warning from Sphinx 5.0.0 [sic]: WARNING: Invalid configuration value found: 'language = None'. Update your configuration to a valid langauge code. Falling back to 'en' (English). Silence the warning by using 'en'. It works with all the Sphinx versions required for building kernel documentation (1.7.9 or later).
