Hi Krzysztof

xhci_ring_free has been removed from v3..
The reason why I want to export is for managing vendor specific ring.
I want to alloc and free vendor specific ring on specific address.
It's done with xhci hooks.

Below is the patch of v3

Export symbols for xhci hooks usage:
    xhci_get_slot_ctx
    xhci_get_endpoint_address
    - Allow xhci hook to get ep_ctx from the xhci_container_ctx for
      getting the ep_ctx information to know which ep is offloading and
      comparing the context in remote subsystem memory if needed.

    xhci_ring_alloc
    - Allow xhci hook to allocate vendor specific ring.

    xhci_trb_virt_to_dma
    - Used to retrieve the DMA address of vendor specific ring.

    xhci_segment_free
    xhci_link_segments
    - Allow xhci hook to handle vendor specific segment.

    xhci_initialize_ring_info
    - Allow xhci hook to initialize vendor specific ring.

    xhci_check_trb_in_td_math
    - Allow xhci hook to Check TRB math for validation.

    xhci_address_device
    - Allow override to give configuration info to Co-processor.

    xhci_bus_suspend
    xhci_bus_resume
    - Allow override of suspend and resume for power scenario.

    xhci_remove_stream_mapping
    - Allow xhci hook to remove stream mapping.

Best Regards,
Jung Daehwan.
