Well... the problem for the current breakage was identified a while ago:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/10/686

I'm surprised that Al didn't fold my patch into his.  Now that this has 
hit mainline, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is now broken on ARM.

And I don't see how the asm-prototypes.h is going to fix it either (if 
anything, at the moment it looks like it might be another source of 
breakage).

So I think the folowing patch should go into mainline:

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: don't use assembler macro arguments with EXPORT_SYMBOL()

Committ 4dd1837d75 ("arm: move exports to definitions") added
EXPORT_SYMBOL(\name) to bitops.h. Here \name is an assembler macro
argument which is not subject to preprocessor substitutions. And the
assembler doesn't handle preprocessor macros either. That has the effect
of breaking CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y.
