No, because all of the code is built into the one object file:
obj-$(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_BRCMNAND)		+= iproc_nand.o
obj-$(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_BRCMNAND)		+= bcm63138_nand.o
obj-$(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_BRCMNAND)		+= bcm63268_nand.o
obj-$(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_BRCMNAND)		+= brcmstb_nand.o
obj-$(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_BRCMNAND)		+= brcmnand.o

They almost have to be otherwise you could load separate parts as different
modules in the wrong order.

The existing exported symbols are not required either.
