I think the goal is for that cleanup to happen now, to justify the
addition of the exported symbol. Without that, there is no need to
export the symbol now at all, as who knows when your driver will be
accepted.
Or, just wait and make it part of your driver patch series, like you did
before, no need to get it accepted now, right?
