Drop modpost command line switches that are no longer used by
makefile.modpost, upon request from Sam Ravnborg <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>,

modpost is not supposed to be used outside the kernel build. [...]
I checked if there were any options supported by modpost that
was not configurable in makefile.modpost.
And I could see that the -M and -K options in getopt() was leftovers.
The code that used these option was was dropped in:
commit a8773769d1a1 ("Kbuild: clear marker out of modpost")
Could you add a patch that delete these on top of what you already have.
