That should be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

I have overlooked that previously, sorry about that.

Same here.

Generally speaking, you should use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() everywhere
unless there's a specific reason for not doing that in which cases
that specific reason has to be clearly spelled out at least in the
changelog of the patch, but really better in a code comment.
