'make clean' removes files listed in 'targets'. It is redundant to
specify both 'targets' and 'clean-files'.

Move 'targets' assignments out of the ifeq-conditionals so
scripts/Makefile.clean can see them.

One effective change is that certs/certs/signing_key.x509 is now
deleted by 'make clean' instead of 'make mrproper. This certificate
is embedded in the kernel. It is not used in any way by external
module builds.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
