[PATCH] net: mscc: Fix non-GPL export of regmap APIs

From: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-08-10 12:43:35

The ocelot driver makes use of regmap, wrapping it with driver specific
operations that are thin wrappers around the core regmap APIs. These are
exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL, dropping the _GPL from the core regmap
exports which is frowned upon. Add _GPL suffixes to at least the APIs that
are doing register I/O.

Stupid question: is this enough? We also have order-two symbols exported
as non-GPL, which call one of {__ocelot_read_ix, __ocelot_write_ix,
__ocelot_rmw_ix, ocelot_port_writel, ocelot_port_rmwl, ocelot_regfields_init,
ocelot_regmap_init}, and therefore indirectly call regmap. In fact, I
think that all symbols exported by ocelot do that.

Yes, that'd be much better I think - I have to confess I didn't look at
the driver in too much detail beyond these most obvious examples to
figure out how exactly they slotted in structurally.
