The change is dubious, since you don't seem to use the header anywhere
outside of _fg, so technically there's no need for it.

But if you want to logically separate structs and definitions, it's fine.

OK, but at least you have to check for multiple inclusions, I guess.
I.e. #ifndef __AB8500_FG_H...
