__delay() is used from kernel module.
We need EXPORT_SYMBOL(), otherwise we will get compile error.

I believe the correct fix is make drivers/net/phy/mdio-cavium.c use one
of [nmu]delay() instead.

OK, make sense.
I did it because some architecture is using EXPORT_SYMBOL() to __delay.
Thank you for your help !!

I must admit that this patch completely baffles me. __delay was
already exported, only elsewhere in the file. With this patch
in place, it is exported twice, and all sh builds in -next fail
with

I presently have a revert of this commit in queue for next. If it's
sufficiently breaking (and especially if there are other regressions
that need to be fixed, see the pmd_free thing) I could try to get it
in for 5.8 still but that's getting a bit late.

The patch in mainline is ok. It appears that it has been applied
again in -next.
"git log --oneline v5.7.. arch/sh/lib/delay.c" on top of next-20200721
reports:
ee0e4f15dfd4 (origin/akpm) sh: add missing EXPORT_SYMBOL() for __delay
d1f56f318d23 sh: add missing EXPORT_SYMBOL() for __delay
Maybe it just needs to be dropped from the akpm tree in -next ?

Could it be a bad merge or patch applied twice or something? I don't
see how the symbol is being exported twice. The argument to revert the
patch still seems correct.
Looking at current linux-next, ba722ca780 from akpm is re-adding the
patch after it gets reverted. Andrew, could you drop your copy of this
patch? It's already upstream as of 5.8-rc1 and now just needs to be
reverted upstream.

I have done so, thanks.

IMHO all of them should be dropped/reverted.
__delay is an internal implementation detail, not to be used by drivers.
See also include/asm-generic/delay.h:
/* Undefined functions to get compile-time errors */
...
extern void __delay(unsigned long loops);
