We should be amending your original patch with the following:

diff --git a/kernel/irq/generic-chip.c b/kernel/irq/generic-chip.c
index 32ffcbb87fa1..c4a8bca5f2b0 100644
--- a/kernel/irq/generic-chip.c
+++ b/kernel/irq/generic-chip.c

        irq_reg_writel(gc, mask, ct->regs.ack);
        irq_gc_unlock(gc);
 }
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(irq_gc_mask_disable_and_ack_set);

 /**
  * irq_gc_eoi - EOI interrupt


This was not going to be a problem back when Doug's commit was accepted, 
but later on, irq-brcmsbtb-l2 was allowed to become modular with 
51d9db5c8fbbed160081d4cb5c193abdf67ded05 ("irqchip/irq-brcmstb-l2: 
Switch to IRQCHIP_PLATFORM_DRIVER").

This totally escaped me when I acked your patch making use of the 
generic irq_gc_mask_disable_and_ack_set implementation.
