linux-aarch64 breaks external modules (like zfs)

[imrehg]

The recent kernel config changes in core/linux-aarch64 to 5.14.8-1 (see https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/linux-aarch64/log?id=f19887c18c3017c7af4f100aa755497d6ed2e5f1 ) specifically setting $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y') breaks external modules like ZFS, which is then unable to be used (installed/run). Eg. getting such issues:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[...snip...]
(2/2) Install DKMS modules
==> dkms install --no-depmod -m zfs -v 2.1.1 -k 5.14.9-1-ARCH
configure: error:
*** This kernel has unused symbols trimming enabled, please disable.
*** Rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=n set.
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.14.9-1-ARCH (aarch64)
[...snip...]
')

Any particular reason why that kernel config change is done? And any possibility of reversing it? (given that the recommended value in the kernel help is N)?
