This is not part of the documentation, so it doesn't really matter.

Nevertheless, Sumera, there is stail an occurrence of flag in the proposed

variable.

The point is to document the use of make coccicheck, not the C variables.
So the point about KBUILD_CHECK, while interesting, does not seem
appropriate for this documentation.
