I am unhappy about adding a new interface
for each checker.

The default of CHECK is "sparse", but
users can override it to use another checker.



As Decumentation/dev-tools/coccinelle.rst says,
if you want to use coccinelle as a checker,

make C=1 CHECK="scripts/coccicheck"


Recently, I saw a patch to use scripts/kernel-doc as a checker.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10030521/



If I accept your patch,
we would end up with

KBUILD_CHECKPATCH,
KBUILD_CHECKCOCCI
KBUILD_CHECKDOC,
...


This is ugly.
