------------------------------------------------------
From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: checkpatch: improve EXPORT_SYMBOL test for EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS uses
The EXPORT_SYMBOL test expects a single argument but definitions of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS have multiple arguments.
Update the test to extract only the first argument from any
EXPORT_SYMBOL related definition.
