Thanks for the update, I will modify the commit message a bit more
as follows, I think you use arm64 kernels:
--- 
Fix for a segmentation fault when analyzing arm64 kernels that are
configured with CONFIG_IKCONFIG and have a strange entry that does
not contain the delimiter "=", such as "CONFIG_SECU+[some hex data]".

Without the patch, in the add_ikconfig_entry() function, strtok_r()
interprets it as consisting of a single token and the val variable
is set to NULL, and then strdup() crashes.

Please wait for another ack.

Thanks,
Kazu
