It's not clear to me why we would need to export those symbols.
As far as I know, heaps cannot be removed, and compiling them as module means that we would be able to remove them.
Now, if we don't expect the users to be compiled as modules, then we don't need to export these symbols at all.
Am I missing something?
In this case, it's the TEE module that _might_ need to instantiate a DMA heap. Whether it will be instantiated depends on the TEE backend driver and the TEE firmware. If a heap is instantiated, then it will not be possible to unload the TEE module. That might not be perfect, but in my opinion, it's better than other options, such as always making the TEE subsystem built-in or disabling DMA-heap support when compiled as a module.
Thanks, Jens
