What happened?

On CachyOS we want to move for the default kernel to be built with clang, see https://github.com/CachyOS/linux-cachyos/issues/286

We are going right now through a bunch of dkms packages, and mainly see the wifi ones are failing, see:

• rtl8812au-dkms - https://paste.cachyos.org/p/385e3f2.txt
• rtl8821cu-morrownr-dkms-git - https://paste.cachyos.org/p/7545b73.txt

Could you maybe add to the Makefile:

• Toolchain check
• Pass "-Wno-unknown-warning-option" if clang is found

Hi @ptr1337

I have a lot of things on my to-do list and supporting clang is not even on the list. I would entertain the idea of merging a well tested patch.
