It turned out I have enabled the custom DSDT option but the field for the custom file have left empty. That's the cause for the error.
Something should probably take care of this case. I use "menuconfig"
to manipulate the .config file.
this is a class of errors Kconfig can't handle.
And if it was handled, the next problems were to check first whether the file exists, and next whether it's actually a valid DSDT table file...
Kconfig helps you to avoid many errors, but there are classes of errors it simply can't prevent.
