You would need to export these above symbols using EXPORT_SYMBOL() to be used by i2c/spi modules. But on the other hand, exporting too many symbols is a bad idea since it is only used for this driver and not at any other place in IIO. So, in my opinion drop this patch and leave the code as-is. https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/16/566 --> worth reading Thanks -- Himanshu Jha Undergraduate Student Department of Electronics & Communication Guru Tegh Bahadur Institute of Technology
