The description,
it may have already been added without a
CRC, in this case just update the CRC
... is no longer valid.
In the old days, this function was used to update the CRC as well.
Commit 040fcc819a ("kbuild: improved modversioning support for
external modules") started to use a separate function (sym_update_crc)
for updating the CRC.
The first part, "Add an exported symbol" is correct, but it is too
obvious from the function name. Drop this comment entirely.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
