Use subdir-ccflags-* instead of ccflags-* to inherit the debug
settings from Kconfig when traversing subdirectories.

What problem does this fix ? Maybe I am missing it, but I don't see
DEBUG being used in a subdirectory of drivers/hwmon.

It's my fault for raising this question [1].  Yicong fixed a real
problem in drivers/pci, where we are currently using

  ccflags-$(CONFIG_PCI_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG

so CONFIG_PCI_DEBUG=y turns on debug in drivers/pci, but not in the
subdirectories.  That's surprising to users.

So my question was whether we should default to using subdir-ccflags
for -DDEBUG in general, and only use ccflags when we have
subdirectories that have their own debug options, e.g.,

  drivers/i2c/Makefile:ccflags-$(CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_CORE) := -DDEBUG
  drivers/i2c/algos/Makefile:ccflags-$(CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_ALGO) := -DDEBUG
  drivers/i2c/busses/Makefile:ccflags-$(CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_BUS) := -DDEBUG
  drivers/i2c/muxes/Makefile:ccflags-$(CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG_BUS) := -DDEBUG

I mentioned drivers/hwmon along with a few others that have
subdirectories, do not have per-subdirectory debug options, and use
ccflags.  I didn't try to determine whether those subdirectories
currently use -DDEBUG.

In the case of drivers/hwmon, several drivers do use pr_debug(),
and CONFIG_HWMON_DEBUG_CHIP=y turns those on.  But if somebody
were to add pr_debug() to drivers/hwmon/occ/common.c, for example,
CONFIG_HWMON_DEBUG_CHIP=y would *not* turn it on.  That sounds
surprising to me, but if that's what you intend, that's totally fine.

i thought CONFIG_HWMON_DEBUG_CHIP=y means to enable debug including the
subdirectories, so use subdir-ccflags-* will make sure the debug
message on in the subdirectories, if there will be.

please let me know if i understand wrong.

Thanks,

That does make sense, but that explanation is missing from the
description.
