Why not put whole ";nobranch=1" here (and empty by default) to keep the SRC_URI shorter for
recipe versions which don't have this issue?

Or even
QT_MODULE_BRANCH_PARAM = "branch=${QT_MODULE_BRANCH}"

which your recipes can replace with nobranch=1 and SRC_URI will stay
simple:

${QT_GIT}/${QT_MODULE}.git;name=${QT_MODULE};${QT_MODULE_BRANCH_PARAM};protocol=${QT_GIT_PROTOCOL}
