EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is more restrictive than EXPORT_SYMBOL. It only
allows the symbol to be used by modules which have GPL module
licesnce.

Kashish, so you know which symbol is unknown?

If you use insmod it should report which symbols are the unknown ones.
Otherwise you can resort to running nm on your module to see what
symbols it needs.
