The dtso is compiled into an obj and linked with the driver which is in
a different transaltion unit. I'm not aware on other ways to include that
symbol without declaring it extern (the exception being some hackery 
trick that compile the dtso into a .c file to be included into the driver
main source file). 
Or probably I'm not seeing what you are proposing, could you please elaborate
on that?

Many thanks,
Andrea
