Should be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() as nothing except GPL code would be
needing this internal symbol.

Also exporting this shows that the driver is written for only one
instance. It seems to me that the driver modules can use much better
abstractions so all these exports wont be needed but having broken
module build is bad as well.
