I don't think we should... I don't know if any module in the common clock
framework is doing that, but if we want some symbol namespace separation,
we would want that "at least" on the entire MediaTek framework, right? :-)

In that case, we can simply keep using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() and change the
Makefile in this directory to add:

	ccflags-y += -DDEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE=COMMON_CLK_MEDIATEK

...but that's surely out of scope for this specific patch series.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Angelo
