From: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0110.2/0369.html EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() may only be used for new exported symbols, Linus has spoken. I believe the phrase involved killer penguins with chainsaws for anybody who changed existing exported interfaces. not sure if this applies or not to the class_simple interfaces, probably not but just FYI.... there is no reason NV or who ever can't implement their own non-simple class ....
