I have "always" tested simple patches by rebuilding just the affected
driver on whatever kernel I happen to run. Like this:

make: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.0-9-amd64'

But this is broken for some reason with recent Debian (bullseye/sid)
kernels, based on 5.6 or 5.7 kernels. They will always compile all
source files in the directory, even of most of them are not necessary
for the requested target:

Why is this? Am I doing something wrong here?
This is quite annoying. Not only does it take much more time than
necessary. It also causes the build to fail if any of the unnecessary
source files fail to build. Which is expected with my use case,
building unmodified drivers from a different kernel version. E.g trying
to rebuild qmi_wwan from the current net/master repo on a Debian 5.6
kernel fails because r8152.c implement new ethtool_ops fields:
bjorn@miraculix:/usr/local/src/git/linux$ make -C /lib/modules/5.6.0-2-amd64/build M=$(pwd)/drivers/net/usb clean

This is obviously completely irrelevent for the qmi_wwan build. How to
I get back the old dependency based building?

I suspect the problem is that M= is causing everything in that directory to be
rebuilt, possibly because it points at itself rather than an output directory elsewhere.
Because it points at itself, why are you even specifying it, instead of just saying
make -C /lib/modules/4.19.0-9-amd64/build drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.ko
(For that matter, using a 4.19 directory for -C when you're apparently
working with a git tree is probably rather sketchy as well...

Masahiro Yamada fixed the problem immediately after I followed Greg's
great advice: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11649263/
Applying that patch locally to the top level Makefile from the Debian
linux-headers 5.6 and 5.7 packages fixes the problem for me. So
everything will be fine when this eventually trickles down there via
stable.

Yes, sure, that is obviously not something I can, or do, expect to work
unconditionally.
Let me try to explain why I do that, with the risk of revealing too much
of my sloppy methods :-)
I like to test stuff myself before acking on anything. And I prefer
testing drivers with real hardware if I can spare the time to do that.
Nowadays I mostly run some distro kernel, since I don't do much kernel
related developement. Building and loading a module or two for the
currently running kernel takes a few seconds. Buikding and booting a
new kernel takes at least 10 minutes, and often much much more when
there are unrelated problems to solve first.. Not to mention the hassle
of having to shut down whatever else I was using the "test hardware"
(i.e the laptop I am doing all my work on) for.
Given this choice I will always try to build on my current kernel
first, knowing that it is a best effort thing. If it works - fine. If
it doesn't - well, I didn't expect it to. But that will usually result
in me cancelling the run test.
Now, for the reasons that it works in this case: The usbnet API is
pretty stable. There hasn't really been much going on there for
ages. Some drivers are actively developed and pick up new features from
e.g the net subsystem, like the r8152 ethtool example, but most of them
are in maintenance mode and only get occasional fixes and device id
additions. The result is that you can copy most of drivers/net/usb from
mainline or net-next straight into an old kernel like 4.19.
Not sure the lack of new development is a good thing, but it is very
convenient ;-)

This is obviously completely irrelevent for the qmi_wwan build. How to
I get back the old dependency based building?

Thanks for the report.
You are not doing anything wrong.
This is a regression of f566e1fbadb6
Please check this:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11649263/
It will be included in the next pull request,
and eventually back-ported to stable kernels.
Meanwhile, if M= build is not important,
you can compile-test a particular module
with in-tree build:
$ make drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.ko

Thanks. That was really fast!
I can confirm that this patch fixes the issue.

Yes, I know. I use the M= build to do some basic load/run testing on
distro kernels. Which is obviously a best effort thing. But it saves me
some time when it works, not needing to build and boot a more recent
kernel to just test a simple driver patch.
