_GPL()?

Oops, that's a big miss. will fix, thanks for spotting this.

Not really. The Soundwire code is dual licensed. Many of the soundwire
symbols are indeed exported as EXPORT_SYMBOL. But I agree this one is
'linux' specific so can be made _GPL.

Pierre, does Intel still care about this being dual licensed or not?

Debugfs was never in scope for the dual-licensed parts, we've already agreed for SOF to move to _GPL.




But why is this exported at all?  No one calls this function.

I will have to check.

It is used by codec driver which are not upstream yet. So my suggestion
would be NOT to export this and only do so when we have users for it
That would be true for other APIs exported out as well.

It'll just make the first codec driver patchset more complicated but fine.
