I think the goal is for that cleanup to happen now, to justify the addition of the exported symbol. Without that, there is no need to export the symbol now at all, as who knows when your driver will be accepted.
Or, just wait and make it part of your driver patch series, like you did before, no need to get it accepted now, right?
