The include directive with the double-quote form, #include "...",
first searches for the specified header in the directory containing
the source file.

If all local headers are included using the double-quote form instead
of the angle bracket form, there is no need to add the local directory
to the header search path.

drivers/gpu/drm/imagination and drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic
use only the double-quote form for including the local headers, and
there are no generated sources or headers in their directories. Hence,
the local header search path is unneeded.

The same applies to arch/loongarch/kvm/ because TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH is
relative to include/trace/.

I guess there exist more Makefiles with unnecessary header inclusion
paths (and more cases where it is possible to delete the header search
path by replacing #include <...> with #include "..."), but I do not have
an easy way to detect it.

These are unneeded inclusion paths that I happened to find.

I'm afraid drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic/macsec/macsec_api.c, 
.../hw_atl2/hw_atl2.c and .../hw_atl2/hw_atl2_utills{,_fw}.[ch] need to 
be adjusted first.

Except for the atlantic related patch diff:

Right. I got build errors for atlantic.

I will drop this because it may cause regressions.
