misc: Fix lint-makefiles failures

A patch fixes lint-makefiles failures by reordering entries and changing an assignment operator. One change is questioned.

This patch addresses lint-makefiles failures by reordering entries and adding comments. One change converts an assignment operator ’=’ to ’+=’, which is questioned, as it modifies a macro defined in both aarch64/ and generic/ Makefiles.

Technical Tradeoffs

  • Reordering entries improves readability and consistency.
  • Modifying assignment operators can have unintended consequences if not carefully reviewed.
  • Adding comments clarifies the purpose and structure of the Makefile.
