If you look at get_parent_theme_file_path() it returns apply_filters( 'parent_theme_file_path', $path, $file ); You need to add a filter here to override the location to something in your child theme, like so.

add_filter('parent_theme_file_path', function($path, $file) {
    if ($file !== '/inc/icon-functions.php') {
        return $path;
    }

    $path = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/' . $file;

    return $path;
}, 10, 2);

You will still need to have a file for it to find at that location in your child theme, but you can put whatever you want in there.

Create /inc/icon-functions.php file in your child-theme and modify it as you want!

EDIT

You must hook to the parent_theme_file_path to tell wordpress load file from child theme, so use the following code:

function override_parent_theme_file($path,$file) {
     if ($file == '/inc/icon-functions.php')
          return get_stylesheet_directory() . '/' . $file;
}
add_filter('parent_theme_file_path','override_parent_theme_file',10,2);

Also you can remove the if statement if you want override to other files included this way.
