The include directive with the double-quote form, #include "...", first searches for the specified header in the directory containing the source file. If all local headers are included using the double-quote form instead of the angle bracket form, there is no need to add the local directory to the header search path. drivers/gpu/drm/imagination and drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic use only the double-quote form for including the local headers, and there are no generated sources or headers in their directories. Hence, the local header search path is unneeded. The same applies to arch/loongarch/kvm/ because TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH is relative to include/trace/. I guess there exist more Makefiles with unnecessary header inclusion paths (and more cases where it is possible to delete the header search path by replacing #include <...> with #include "..."), but I do not have an easy way to detect it. These are unneeded inclusion paths that I happened to find.
