I believe this patch is the right way because
we will be able to add a new warning option to
scripts/Makefile.extrawarn without fixing any code.

I remember somebody argued that drivers should be
able to do
  subdir-ccflags-y += $(W1_FLAGS)

However, if a new flag, -Wfoo, emits warnings
for drivers/gpu/drm/{i915,amd},
you cannot add it to W=1 until fixing the code.

If many drivers start to do likewise,
W=1 warning will not be W=1 any more.



Another good thing for hard-coding warning options
is you can lift up a warning flag one by one.


Let's say you fixed the entire DRM subsystem so
it is -Wunused free now.

Then, you can move -Wunused to drivers/gpu/drm/Makefile,
while other warning options stay in drivers Makefiles.
