kbuild: announce removal of SUBDIRS if used
SUBDIRS has been kept as a backward compatibility since commit ("[PATCH] kbuild: external module support") in 2002. We do not need multiple ways to do the same thing, so I will remove SUBDIRS after the Linux 5.3 release. I cleaned up in-tree code, and updated the document so that nobody would try to use it. Meanwhile, display the following warning if SUBDIRS is used. Makefile:189: ================= WARNING ================ Makefile:190: 'SUBDIRS' will be removed after Linux 5.3 Makefile:191: Please use 'M=' or 'KBUILD_EXTMOD' instead Makefile:192: ========================================== Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Acked-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@bootlin.com> # for scx200_docflash.c Acked-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> # for scx200_wdt.c
