I can see in my Pixel6 modules dir, that it's called in 7 places. I assume that in Android world this is common use. Regards, Lukasz

Moreover there is logically no good reason to use the thermal_cdev_update() function from outside of the thermal core code.

On the other hand the mostly deployed kernel is in Android devices and that brings a lot to the community. This symbol might also be used by other distros which might have modules for some accelerators, which also support tricky cooling. I would keep it as is...

I think that the long-term goal is to reduce differences between the mainline kernel and Android. From this angle, it would be good if Android was aware that the mainline did stuff especially for them and making them carry an extra patch would go a long way towards that purpose.

It's hard to judge sometimes especially on those small bits. I've just pointed out and shared the info that this symbol is used. What you will do with this it's up to you. You and Daniel are the maintainers of this subsystems and have long-term plans for it. Todd and Wei are on CC, so they will know about this change. My job finishes here.

It is totally appropriate for the export to be removed for these functions if the exports are only for out of tree code. If they are needed for Android, they can be carried in the Android kernel trees.

Different functions are exporting the symbols but are actually only used by the thermal framework internals. Remove these EXPORT_SYMBOLS.
