Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: fix W= option checks for extra DTC warnings

Kbuild supports 3 levels of extra warnings, and multiple levels can
be combined, like W=12, W=123.  It was added by commit a6de553da01c
("kbuild: Allow to combine multiple W= levels").

>From the log of commit 8654cb8d0371 ("dtc: update warning settings
for new bus and node/property name checks"), I assume:

 - unit_address_vs_reg, simple_bus_reg, etc. belong to level 1
 - node_name_chars_strict, property_name_chars_strict belong to level 2

However, the level 1 warnings are displayed by any argument to W=.
On the other hand, the level 2 warnings are displayed by W=2, but
not by W=12, or W=123.

Use $(findstring ...) like scripts/Makefile.extrawarn.

Side Notes for possible additional works:

 [1] I implemented DTC extra warnings differently in U-Boot:

    https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/v2018.01/scripts/Makefile.extrawarn#L64

    Better to collect extra warning stuff into scripts/Makefile.extrawarn ?

 [2] KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS is getting a historical misnomer
     because we use it for Clang and DTC too.

     Better to rename?  (keeping backward-compatibility for a while)?
