Please consider using error() once the following is queued up. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-kbuild/patch/20201201103418.675850-2-masahiroy@kernel.org/

I'll post a v2 shortly. Thanks, Quentin

Using EXPORT_SYMBOL*() on static functions is fundamentally wrong. Modpost currently reports that as a warning, but clearly this is not a pattern we should allow, and all in-tree occurences should have been fixed by now. So, promote the warn() message to fatal() to make sure this never happens again.
