It is very nice finally to get some infrastructure to validate header
files.

But to avoid too many conflicts while including more and more headers
that are selfcontained we really need something that is more
distributed.
So for example all header files in include/drm/* could be in one
Makefile, incl. sub-directories, but the same Makefile would not include
the files in include/soc/

If you just show how ot do it, others can follow-up with the
relevant directories.
