This caused a surprising number of kernel file rebuilds for me, and the reason was

It turns out that the above is indirectly included from a _lot_ of code device header files.
The reason seems to be the various 'struct *_device_id' declarations, that then all the different header files want.
So a tiny change in an oddball header file causes a lot of recompiles.
Oh well. I don't know if there is anything to be done, but I did react to how some surprising changes cause a lot of build activity, and it's not always obvious.
