EXPORT_SYMBOL set_irq_noprobe, set_irq_chip_and_handler,irq_to_desc ?

We added some irq_chip functionality to the ADP5588 GPIO driver.
I wonder whether these symbol should be better exported or not?

ERROR: "set_irq_noprobe" [drivers/gpio/adp5588-gpio.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "set_irq_chip_and_handler" [drivers/gpio/adp5588-gpio.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "irq_to_desc" [drivers/gpio/adp5588-gpio.ko] undefined!

Some other drivers avoid the same issue by preventing the driver being built as module.
Is that the way to go?

Best regards,
Michael
