In previous kernel versions I could do:
make M=net/wireless cfg80211.ko
However, in 5.3-rc1 I now get:
$ make M=net/wireless cfg80211.ko
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `cfg80211.ko'. Stop.
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
The 'modules' target is working, but sometimes there are multiple
modules and I only want to build just one explicitly. Can this option be
restored?
Regards,
Arend

Please test this:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11073103/
BTW,
'make M=net/wireless cfg80211.ko' still works,
but if you build a single module in the kernel tree,
make net/wireless/cfg80211.ko
is more correct.
M= is used for external modules.
