Since you are adding multiple objects to the Makefile at once, you
could very well split the patches to reflect that and submit one
object as a separate patch. Also, sometimes, even if the driver is
feature complete, it helps submitting the basic support first, and
then start adding new features to it progressively.

I mean netif_carrier_off() is not required, everything else is.

Humm, I would rather you do this know this will eliminate all this
code in your driver which duplicates an existing function in the
kernel.
