Hi Andrew,
Thank you for addressing this.
If you don’t mind me asking, I was curious why we used EXPORT_SYMBOL instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL here. I had previously received feedback recommending the use of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to better align with the kernel’s licensing philosophy, which made sense to me.
That's the recommendation for new symbols, but this has become effectively a rename (plus a new parameter) so it's a bit different situation.
agreed, Thanks.
