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:

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.
