I don't know much about kernel modules, but the nix expressions
(*.nix) looks good to me.

However, I suggest you to have a look at nixos-harware-scan tool
(nixos/modules/installer/nixos-hardware-scan.pl) and
nixos/modules/installer/scan/*nix files and to remove the first
comment line.  This tool is used to automatically generate a
configuration for a computer.  If you succeeded to make your hardware
detected, you can add an entry in
nixos/modules/installer/scan/detected.nix, otherwise add it in
nixos/modules/installer/scan/not-detected.nix.  These files are used
to produce default configurations and CD configurations.

Cheers,
