Before the c5013ac1dd0e1 commit, this was a 'static inline' function,
which is allowed to clash with other identifiers. Making it a global
symbol during the move was a problem.

If we are going to treat this as a fix then probably it should be separated
from the rest of the patchset and routed via net. With the rump patchset
re-submitted to net-next once dependencies are in place.

I'll drop patch 1 then and send the other two when I get the next
regression with duplicate objects in a couple of releases. I'm
travelling at the moment and won't have time to rebase and test
before the merge window.

It's no longer urgent since both cpsw and dpaa2 have been broken for
years now since I first reported the regression.
