EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL is intended to be used for "an internal implementation issue, and not really an interface". The dma-buf infrastructure is explicitly intended as an interface between modules/drivers, so it should use EXPORT_SYMBOL instead.

So this patch at the very least needs approval from TI and Linaro.
