Well, it wouldn't work without EXPORT_SYMBOL either (probably should be 
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL these days too) but you need to declare it one place or 
another or the compiler doesn't know it exists at all! This should ideally be in 
scx200_gpio.h but I was too lazy to add it! :-P

Just add that line to the header and all will be well. Looks good otherwise.
