No, you did not get it at all.

Q: Where is the actual in kernel use case which utilizes the exported
   symbol in a module?

A: There is still none.

violating all encapsulation rules of the kernel subsytems without
providing at least an attempt of justification.

Nothing outside of the timer core subsystem has any business to fiddle
with this data structure ever. Period.
