Pay attention to a new commit 707f853d7fa3 ("module: Provide
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES() helper"). This one is what we
mostly need in IIO.

Thanks Andy - I'd not registered that merged.
I was following the discussion that lead to that patch and
it was targeted at a different use case to our typical one in IIO.
I was to prevent anyone else getting access to a particular call
that was needed for modular KVM. It's about abuse prevention rather
than what we typically care about which is reducing namespace
polution.
Now that's not to say it isn't also helpful for us, but I'd like
to not rush to using it until we see if it is getting general
adoption outside of that specific KVM case and similar.
So let's wait a cycle or so and look again,
Jonathan

FWIW, I have noticed this due to the commit
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git/commit/?h=tty-next&id=b20d6576cdb3530d4a2d81611a8b8eb99780ce3e
