CONFIG_CLANG_VERSION gives me real clang version.


$ clang --version
clang version 7.0.0 (http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
f1d1f4c4591e81cfa80034df094b26d7eb4fa92b)
(http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
d157ba2f80790d23d717c4ff3f5bee30d98d6a51)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /home/masahiro/toolchains/clang-latest/bin

$ make CC=clang defconfig
*** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$ grep  CLANG_VERSION .config
CONFIG_CLANG_VERSION=70000



I am just porting
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10085765/
to Kconfig.
