Yeah, I have seen :(

Then use a proper name for it, with a correct prefix, and export it with
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() please.

But all of those defines are not needed, just the function name, right?

Hold off on this and wait until there is a real user for it, as we can
not take api additions without a user, otherwise we will just come along
and delete the code.

Submit it as part of a series that actually uses the function, so we can
at least see if the function makes sense to be used in that way as well,
right now we have no clue.
