Merge tag 'driver-core-6.6-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver symbol lookup fix from Greg KH:
"Here is one last fixup for your tree for 6.6-rc1. It resolves a
problem with the way that symbol_get was changed in the module tree
merge in your tree to fix up the DVB drivers which rely on this old
api to attach new devices.
As the changelog comment says:
In commit 9011e49d54dc ("modules: only allow symbol_get of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL modules") the use of symbol_get is properly
restricted to GPL-only marked symbols. This interacts oddly with the
DVB logic which only uses dvb_attach() to load the dvb driver which
then uses symbol_get().
Fix this up by properly marking all of the dvb_attach attach symbols
as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().
This has been acked by Hans from the V4L driver side, Luis from the
module side, Mauro on the media side, and Christoph said it was the
correct solution, and was tested by the original reporter of the
issue.
It has passed 0-day testing, but has not been in linux-next due to it
only being sent yesterday"
