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