After looking at more of them, my "a lot" was a little bit of an
overstatement. The first few I randomly looked at happen to use the incorrect
pattern, but most are simple without relying on a variable. Yeah, I think you
should resubmit with a "[PATCH v2]." The pattern is:
ifeq ($(FOO),y)
EXTRA_CFLAGS := <flags>
endif
changes to:
ccflags-$(FOO) := <flags>
Also, the rest of the kernel tree has been done except drivers/media; however, I
am going to email them in a little bit asking if some consolidation is possible
due to every driver there relying on a few flags. So thanks for the help (though
is was a good thing I was saving staging for last)!
