The patch was based on 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git.

In linux-next, the file was moved to a different directory:

from drivers/staging/brcm80211/phy/wlc_phy_lcn.c
to   drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/phy/wlc_phy_lcn.c

It still needs the same fix. I'll send a new patch based on latest 
linux-next.

Regards
Stefan W.
