I think in this case we need to be explicit when talking about "need"
and "used". Yes, some of these exported symbols are only used within a
module and this needs to be fixed. At the same time, some of these may
be needed outside, but are just not currently used. Examples of the
latter are: iwl_remove_station, iwl_rx_ant_restriction, and
iwl_send_card_state. I think this is especially important for
iwl_remove_station and iwl_rx_ant_restriction because their partners
(iwl_add_station and iwl_tx_ant_restriction) are exported and used and I
think it will be clean if they are also, even if they are not currently
used.
I'm thus ok with the removal of symbols iwl_set_flags_for_band,
iwl_clear_isr_stats, iwl_leds_background, and iwl_rx_queue_reset.
