[PATCH] kbuild: avoid unrecognized option error for external DTC

[PATCH] kbuild: avoid unrecognized option error for external DTC

[Masahiro Yamada]

Since commit 6b22b3d1614a ("kbuild: Allow using host dtc instead of
kernel's copy"), it is possible to use an external dtc.  In this
case, we do not know which options are supported on it.

Commit bc553986a2f7 ("dtc: turn off dtc unit address warnings by
default") gives -Wno-unit_address_vs_reg, but this options is only
recognized by v1.4.2 or later.

If an older version is specified, the build fails:

$ dtc --version
Version: DTC 1.4.0
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- DTC=dtc dtbs
  [ snip ]
  DTC     arch/arm64/boot/dts/al/alpine-v2-evp.dtb
FATAL ERROR: Unrecognized check name "unit_address_vs_reg"
make[2]: *** [arch/arm64/boot/dts/al/alpine-v2-evp.dtb] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/arm64/boot/dts/al] Error 2
make: *** [dtbs] Error 2

This commit adds a new helper dtc-option to check if the given
option is supported, like cc-option, ld-option, etc.

The check for the -Wno-unit_address_vs_reg has been moved from
Makefile.lib to Makefile.extrawarn.  Since Makefile.lib is included
recursively, it is not efficient to evaluate the $(call dtc-option)
at every descend.  On the other hand, Makefile.extrawarn is included
just once from the top Makefile.  Besides, it seems more suitable to
collect extra warning things into the Makefile.extrawarn.

The variable, DTC, has also been moved to the top Makefile so that
the Makefile.extrawarn can reference it.

Here is one problem for the dtc-option helper; the kernel's copy
(scripts/dtc/dtc) is not compiled until Kbuild descends into the
scripts/dtc/ directory.  This happens later after Makefile.extrawarn
is evaluated.  So, dtc-options should its job only when DTC is
overridden from the command line (i.e. pre-built dtc is used).
If the kernel's copy is used, dtc-option falls back to a fixed option
because we know which options are supported on the internal one.

But the option to use an external dtc was intended to allow testing of
newer versions.  If there's no reason to use this option to run an
older version, why bother trying to support that?

It could also be specified as an environment variable (assignment with
"?=" doesn't override them, but "=" does).

That's a lot of added complexity, when the answer could just be "use the
kernel dtc".
