So I've look into the history of Linux, ccflags-y was introduce to get
rid of EXTRA_CFLAGS and especially to have the -y part in the name of
the variable.

So, instead of ccflags-y and the like, we could use CFLAGS-y in Makefile
of subdirectories.

For makefiles in subdir, Linux has:
    CFLAGS_$@
    CFLAGS_REMOVE_$@
    ccflags-y
    subdir-ccflags-y
so CFLAGS-y would be better (and we can think about the subdir one
later).
