export the symbols which are used by two modules vpif_capture and
vpif_display.
This patch fixes following error:

Should be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() as nothing except GPL code would be
needing this internal symbol.
Also exporting this shows that the driver is written for only one
instance. It seems to me that the driver modules can use much better
abstractions so all these exports wont be needed but having broken
module build is bad as well.
Thanks,
Sekhar

OK as of now I'll go with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() and revisit this at later
point of time.
