This patch landed in today's linux-next (next-20200221) and broke arm64 
builds:

--->8---

$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig
*** Default configuration is based on 'defconfig'
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- Image.gz
scripts/kconfig/conf  --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf  --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf  --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf  --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf  --syncconfig Kconfig
...

(endless loop)

Reverting it fixes the issue:
