otx2_devlink.o is linked into both rvu_nicpf.ko and rvu_nicpf.ko.
The two exports above result in the following errors when building
with allmodconfig on x86_64

 ERROR: modpost: drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeontx2/nic/rvu_nicvf: 'otx2_register_dl' exported twice. Previous export was in drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeontx2/nic/rvu_nicpf.ko
