Using symbol_request() in general doesn't seem to be such a good idea,
because it breaks symbol versioning and as far as I can see is only very
rarely used in drivers (AFAIK only V4L drivers).
But for the moment I don't have another idea either except for always
loading the module which on most hardware is completely unnecessary.
Maybe we should consider restructuring the module load dependencies in
the next kernel release.
For now the patch is Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig at amd.com>
