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.

Thanks,
Shivank
