It's not a valid reason to export them as GPL. Entire Linux source code is licensed as GPL-2.0, so are you going to change all EXPORT_SYMBOL to GPL? Please describe it better. Usually the symbols are exported as GPL if they are considered tightly coupled with the kernel code. So tightly that basically it is not a interface anymore but part of kernel internals and therefore any usage of it is a derivative work of Linux kernel. If this is the case here, please describe in commit msg why these match this criteria. Best regards, Krzysztof
