fixdep: fix U-Boot own code to handle only valid symbol characters
Currently, fixdep skips parsing include/linux/kconfig.h, but if it
parsed it, it would translate the following code in kconfig.h
config_enabled(CONFIG_VAL(option##_MODULE)
into:
$(wildcard include/config/option##/module.h)
When Kbuild includes .*.cmd, it would emit the following error:
*** unterminated call to function 'wildcard': missing ')'. Stop.
This issue prevents us from importing the upstream Linux commit
638e69cf2230 ("fixdep: do not ignore kconfig.h").
Fix this by handling only alphanumerical characters and underscores.
This makes sense because they match to the valid character sets in
Kconfig symbols.
As a side-note, you can reproduce this issue only on GNU Make <= 4.2.1
For GNU Make <= 4.2.1, the '#' always means the start of a comment.
Hence, GNU Make thinks the closing ')' is missing.
The following commit in GNU Make changed how it handles '#' in
function invocations. So, this does not happen for GNU Make 4.3
