I'm trying to use the 'kconfiglib' module to read Linux Kconfig source files.
I could not get the 'scriptconfig' makefile.patch working with the latest upstream Linux version 6.4-rc4. The documentation does not seem to mention that we need to extract 'kconfiglib' scripts under the kernel source directory for make targets to work.
After multiple trial-&-errors, kconfiglib is showing below error while parsing the Kconfig menu about 'Loadable modules support' options.

I'd appreciate if you could please have a look, check if I'm missing something or using it wrongly?
