EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL?

There are other symbols in this driver marked as EXPORT_SYMBOL only. Can 
you submit a separate patch to convert them into EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. OR I 
want to know why we are marking them without _GPL.

checkpatch should catch this as well? By default we should have all the 
new additions as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL and only few existing APIs w/ 
exceptions?
