By "internal" do you mean "not involving interests outside of the Linux 
Foundation"? TBH, I don't know who's affected.

Anyway, this patch series is mostly refactoring. So the policy it enforces 
towards the use of arch_nvram_ops just reflects the policy already in 
place:

$ git grep -w EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL | grep nvram
$ git grep -w EXPORT_SYMBOL | grep nvram
...
arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_32.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(nvram_read_byte);
arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_32.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(nvram_write_byte);
arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_32.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(nvram_get_size);
arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_32.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(nvram_sync);
arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/nvram.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(pmac_get_partition);
arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/nvram.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(pmac_xpram_read);
arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/nvram.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(pmac_xpram_write);
drivers/char/nvram.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(__nvram_read_byte);
drivers/char/nvram.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(nvram_read_byte);
