Hi,

I'm probably missing some python additive (I hope it's that easy), but
menuconfig.py is not liking the "degree" symbol in drivers/net/can/peak_canfd/Kconfig:

config CAN_PEAK_PCIEFD
	depends on PCI
	tristate "PEAK-System PCAN-PCIe FD cards"
	---help---
	  This driver adds support for the PEAK-System PCI Express FD
	  CAN-FD cards family.
	  These 1x or 2x CAN-FD channels cards offer CAN 2.0 a/b as well as
	  CAN-FD access to the CAN bus. Besides the nominal bitrate of up to
	  1 Mbit/s, the data bytes of CAN-FD frames can be transmitted with
	  up to 12 Mbit/s. A galvanic isolation of the CAN ports protects the
	  electronics of the card and the respective computer against
	  disturbances of up to 500 Volts. The PCAN-PCI Express FD can be
	  operated with ambient temperatures in a range of -40 to +85 °C.


kconfiglib.KconfigSyntaxError: 
Malformed ascii in drivers/net/can/peak_canfd/Kconfig
Context: b't temperatures in a range of -40 to +85 \xc2\xb0C.\n'
Problematic data: b'\xc2'
Reason: ordinal not in range(128)
