Above trick does not work for composite objects.
The best approach is to use the following trick:

make SUBDIRS=drivers/pcmcia

That will build all files - as required - starting with drivers/pcmcia.
The rest of the build process then proceeds as opposed to the normal
single targets.

The top-level Makefile needs an entry to let the above work with single
target .ko files, patch attached (on top of my earlier kbuild changes).
