[ Upstream commit 9bce6243848dfd0ff7c2be6e8d82ab9b1e6c7858 ]
The first symbol exports of RTAS functions and data came with the (now removed) scanlog driver in 2003:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=...
At the time this was applied, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() was very new, and the exports of rtas_call() etc have remained non-GPL. As new APIs have been added to the RTAS subsystem, their symbol exports have followed the convention set by existing code.
However, the historical evidence is that RTAS function exports have been added over time only to satisfy the needs of in-kernel users, and these clients must have fairly intimate knowledge of how the APIs work to use them safely. No out of tree users are known, and future ones seem unlikely.
Arguably the default for RTAS symbols should have become EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL once it was available. Let's make it so now, and exceptions can be evaluated as needed.
