kbuild: introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y
Introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y so we soon can
deprecate use of EXTRA_CFLAGS, EXTRA_AFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
This patch does not touch any in-tree users - thats next round.
Lets get this committed first and then fix the users of the
soon to be deprecated variants next.
The rationale behind this change is to introduce support for
makefile fragments like:
ccflags-$(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG
As a replacement for the uglier:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG),y)
EXTRA_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG
endif
