Hmmm, how did a change like commit 0e1aa5b62160 ("kcsan: Restrict
supported compilers") work if cc-option does not work with unknown
'-mllvm' flags (or did it)? That definitely seems like a problem, as I
see a few different places where '-mllvm' options are used with
cc-option. I guess I will leave that up to the sanitizer folks to
comment on that further, one small comment below.

I do not think you need to duplicate this block, I think

  ifeq ($(call clang-min-version, 150000)$(call gcc-min-version, 130000),y)
  CFLAGS_KASAN += $(call cc-param,hwasan-kernel-mem-intrinsic-prefix=1)
  endif

would work, as only one of those conditions can be true at a time.
