Is there any reason for the lack of consistency between GPL and non-GPL
symbols?
Also, I don't like too much the naming of symbols like "realtek_common_probe",
exported to the entire kernel. I wonder if it would be better to drop
the word "common" altogether, and use EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(*, REALTEK_DSA) +
MODULE_IMPORT_NS(REALTEK_DSA) instead of plain EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()?
