As in commit 51839e29cb59 ("scripts: switch explicitly to Python 3"), we need to use more specific 'python3' to invoke scripts even if they are written in a way compatible with both Python 2 and 3. This commit removes the variable 'PYTHON', and switches the existing users to 'PYTHON3'. BTW, PEP 394 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) is a helpful material.

The driver itself would require a major overhaul before any modifications can be attempted, but seeing that it's unlikely to have any users left it should rather be removed completely.

Basically, Kbuild builds targets listed in extra-y and always-y in visited Makefiles without relying on any dependency. The difference is that extra-y is used to list the targets needed for vmlinux whereas always-y is used to list the targets that must be always built irrespective of final targets. Kbuild skips extra-y when it is building only modules (i.e. 'make modules'). This is the long-standing behavior since extra-y was introduced in 2003, and it is explained in that commit log [1]. For clarification, this is the extra-y vs always-y table: extra-y always-y 'make' y y 'make vmlinux' y y 'make modules' n y Kbuild skips extra-y also when building external modules since obviously it never builds vmlinux. Unfortunately, extra-y is wrongly used in many places of upstream code, and even in external modules. Using extra-y in external module Makefiles is wrong. What you should use is probably always-y or 'targets'. The current documentation for extra-y is misleading. I rewrote it, and moved it to the section 3.7. always-y is not documented anywhere. I added.
