Forgot to mention that scripts/checkpatch.pl gave 15 false positives of
the following type against drivers/misc/xp/xp_main.c.

The fact is that the EXPORT_SYMBOL(xp_remote_memcpy) does immediately follow
the function/variable as follows.

enum xp_retval (*xp_remote_memcpy) (void *dst, const void *src, size_t len);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(xp_remote_memcpy);
