Why are you exporting these functions if no one calls them?
They are used in the next series, see '[RFC PATCH 04/12] ASoC: SOF: Intel: add SoundWire configuration interface'
That wasn't obvious :)
Also, why not EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()? :)
Since the beginning of this SoundWire work, the intent what that the code could be reused in non-GPL open-source circles, hence the dual license and EXPORT_SYMBOL.
Hah, you _have_ talked to your lawyers about this, right?
You have a chance to do something like this for header files, for .c files, good luck. That's going to be a hard road to go down. Many have tried in the past, all but 1 have failed.
Also note, the last I checked, the _default_ license for Linux kernel code from Intel was GPLv2. If you got an exception for this, please work with your legal council on how to do this "properly" as that was part of getting that exception, right?
If you didn't get the exception, um, you have some people to go talk to, and how come I am the one asking you about this? :(
All the legal due-diligence was done when SoundWire was initially contributed in 2018. You asked that question at the time and I will point you to the email exchange Alan Cox and you had on this topic [1].
