I thought about suggesting something similar, too. I would have renamed
fec.c to (say) fec_base.c and then kept the module name fec.ko. Not sure
keeping the module name is critical.

What is missing from your patch is dropping the EXPORT_SYMBOLs. Other
than that I like it better than using a single .c file.

Best regards
Uwe
