Re: [PATCH] media: pvrusb2: fix DVB_CORE dependency

[Mike Isely]

That doesn't seem right.  The pvrusb2 module should reference that 
symbol like any other.  There is no special treatment of it within 
pvrusb2 - so why is that requiring special treatment here?

Is it possible that dvb_module_probe and dvb_module_release are not 
exported?  (Or that there are two corresponding different exported 
symbol names that pvrusb2 should be using instead?)
