Are you sure this will only apply to dc/dml?

The way the amdgpu build is setup I've seen this flag apply to all of amdgpu, even if specified in a subdirectories build file. The reason being that amdgpu/Makefile recursively includes all other Makefiles in the module.

According to kbuild/makefiles.txt this will have effect for the kbuild file where it's present and all subdirectories:

For your 2nd patch you probably want to make a dml_cflags variable that's set different for clang and gcc, and then still set it for all files in DML individually.

You'll probably also have to do the same for dc/calcs/Makefile.

Thanks for finding a good solution for supporting clang. It's been on my list but I haven't had time to find the right flag yet.
