Agree.

Adding an environment variable to each of them is tedious.


If you enable -Wall via the command line option,
these lines are unneeded?

For example,

ifneq ($(KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN),)
  cmd_checkdoc = $(srctree)/scripts/kernel-doc -none \
         $(if $(findstring 2, $(KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN)), -Wall) $<
endif
