I don't see much difference to my approach here, but if you want
to submit that version with 'Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>',
please do so.

Yet another option would be to use Makefile code to link both
files into one module, and remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL statements:

obj-$(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_JZ4780) += jz4780_nand.o
jz4780_nand-y += ingenic_nand.o
jz4780_nand-$(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_INGENIC_ECC) += ingenic_ecc.o
