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 is no longer valid.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 040fcc819a2e ("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.
