Is this a problem today? I don't see it being one, so when you need this function exported, we can do it then. Otherwise people will just start sending me patches unexporting it as they don't see any in-kernel users of it :)
So just keep it as part of your patchset, it's easier for everyone that way.
And it will remind me to verify that you really should be calling kobject_rename and not just getting the name correctly the first time around...{hint}
thanks,
