I was looking and there is no standard under tools/

Some use it, some not. To given an example of what uses CFLAGS:
tools/arch/x86/kcpuid/Makefile:override CFLAGS += -O2 -Wall -I../../../include
tools/arch/x86/intel_sdsi/Makefile:override CFLAGS += -O2 -Wall
tools/iio/Makefile:override CFLAGS += -O2 -Wall -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -I$(OUTPUT)include
tools/thermal/tmon/Makefile:override CFLAGS += $(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) --cflags $(STATIC) panelw ncursesw 2> /dev/null || \
tools/gpio/Makefile:override CFLAGS += -O2 -Wall -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -I$(OUTPUT)include
tools/pci/Makefile:CFLAGS += -O2 -Wall -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -I$(OUTPUT)include
tools/spi/Makefile:CFLAGS += -O2 -Wall -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -I$(OUTPUT)include
tools/wmi/Makefile:CFLAGS += -D__EXPORTED_HEADERS__ -I../../include/uapi -I../../include
tools/io_uring/Makefile:CFLAGS += -Wall -Wextra -g -D_GNU_SOURCE
tools/counter/Makefile:override CFLAGS += -O2 -Wall -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -I$(OUTPUT)include

I can however use EXTRA_CFLAGS, not a problem, eg. doing instead:
CFLAGS = -Wall -Wextra -I../lib/ $(EXTRA_CFLAGS)
LDFLAGS = $(LIBS) $(EXTRA_LDFLAGS)

Let me know and I'll resend the patch using EXTRA_* instead.
