I have no issue with that. I know there have been a lot of debates on
EXPORT_SYMBOL vs. EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL use. If EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is
preferred on these PCI functions here, I'll make the change.


I'm still waiting for comments from Bjorn on the Broadcom iProc PCI
driver itself. This change will go with other changes in the iProc PCI
driver.

Thanks,

Ray
