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.

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,

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.
