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

That says what you do, but not _why_ you are doing it.

What does this offer in benefit of the existing way?  What is it fixing?
Why do this "churn"?

thanks,

i'll illustrate the reason and reword the commit.

currently we have added ccflags-$(CONFIG_DEBUG_DRIVER) := -DDEBUG in the Makefile
of driver/base and driver/base/power, but not in the subdirectory
driver/base/firmware_loader. we cannot turn the debug on for subdirectory
firmware_loader if we config DEBUG_DRIVER and there is no kconfig option
for the it.

as there is no other debug config in the subdirectory of driver/base,
CONFIG_DEBUG_DRIVER may also mean turn on the debug in the subdirectories, so use
subdir-ccflags-* instead for the -DDEBUG will allow us to enable debug for all
the subdirectories.

Thanks,
Yicong

Is that necessary?  Does that directory need it?

thanks,

there are several debug prints in firmware_loader/main.c:

./main.c:207:   pr_debug("%s: fw-%s fw_priv=%p\n", __func__, fw_name, fw_priv);
./main.c:245:                   pr_debug("batched request - sharing the same struct fw_priv and lookup for multiple requests\n");
./main.c:269:   pr_debug("%s: fw-%s fw_priv=%p data=%p size=%u\n",
./main.c:594:   pr_debug("%s: fw-%s fw_priv=%p data=%p size=%u\n",
./main.c:605:           pr_debug("%s: fw_name-%s devm-%p released\n",
./main.c:1175:  pr_debug("%s: %s\n", __func__, fw_name);
./main.c:1181:  pr_debug("%s: %s ret=%d\n", __func__, fw_name, ret);
./main.c:1214:  pr_debug("%s: %s\n", __func__, fw_name);
./main.c:1272:          pr_debug("%s: fw: %s\n", __func__, name);
./main.c:1389:  pr_debug("%s\n", __func__);
./main.c:1415:  pr_debug("%s\n", __func__);

Even if these are not in scope for CONFIG_DEBUG_DRVIER there is a
config option that would allow you to observe them without changing
any code (CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG).

yes. they're two mechanisms of debug. i think it's the right thing to make
both work properly.
