Sorry for the delay.

Users need to do "make HOSTCFLAGS=-DWARN" to make it work,
but nobody would do it.


I did a ground work:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-kbuild/patch/20230606094159.1910369-1-masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx/



Then, you can do like this:

  if (extra_warn && !get_modinfo(&info, "description"))
           warn("missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in %s\n", modname);
