I do think it's a big deal to export a symbol if there's no reason to do
so.
And please, can we stop adding these macros for every possible scenario?
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I find it increasingly difficult to
understand what all of these are supposed to be. I get that people want
to get rid of boilerplate, but I think we need to more carefully balance
boilerplate vs. simplicity.
I'm seeing the same thing with stuff like those mass conversions to
atrocities like devm_platform_ioremap_resource() and
devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource(). There's so much churn involved
in getting those merged for usually saving a single line of code. And
it's not even mass conversions, but people tend to send these as one
patch per driver, which doesn't exactly help (except perhaps for patch
statistics).
