Compiling only a specific driver from backports?

I'm currently trying to learn a bit about how txpower is set within the Linux ath9k wireless driver to enable the output amp on my wireless adaptor.

I've been editing the code for ath9k from here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v4.4.2/

On my Raspberry Pi, this is a 15+ minute compile process.

Is anybody able to tell me if it's possible to just compile the ath9k driver rather than the whole lot?

Many thanks!

Turns out it was fairly simple:

make defconfig-ath9k make

Hope this helps somebody!
