Currently, role init functions are used in dwc3 driver but can't be called from kernel modules. dwc3_host_init dwc3_host_exit dwc3_gadget_init dwc3_gadget_exit dwc3_event_buffers_setup dwc3_event_buffers_cleanup If other kernel modules want to use these functions, it needs EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() to get compile pass. Signed-off-by: Ray Chi <redacted>What current kernel configuration fails without this patch applied? I don't see any in-tree users of this as a module that would break, or am I missing something? thanks, greg k-h
There is no failure for current status. This patch is just used for any kernel modules which want to call these functions. I think it is an expandability of dwc3 core driver.
