We have to do this on all of our Cisco Port-channels that lead to Brocade
ICX switches:
no spanning-tree etherchannel guard misconfig

If we don't do it, after a couple of days, the Cisco will err-disable the
Port-channel just as you describe. I guess the misconfig detection is
incompatible with the Brocade OS.
We have seen no ill effects from this, as we are using "mode active" on all
our Port-channels. So if there is a misconfiguration, the LAG does not come
up for that port on either end, and we're good.

Hope that helps.
