It seems "git-format-patch -M" fails to detect this patch as a rename(maybe due to too many changed lines?), so I commit two times to get a readable patch and attach them.
- rename ad1938 to ad193x

Please don't top post and please always follow the patch submission procedure documented in Documentation/SubmittingPatches. Even if problems with your MUA make it difficult to submit patches without using attachments you should always send one patch per message. Not following these rules makes your patches much more difficult to handle.
Since the patches aren't in line it's difficult to quote things when commenting but a few issues:
- Your rename patch didn't update the Makefile and Kconfig, which would cause build breakage if applied alone. You should always try to ensure that builds work even with a partially applied patch series since this allows things like bisection which step through the history to work.
- You've left the bus_probe() functions exported - now you've merged everything into one file this is no longer needed.
- The way you've factored out the bus probe and removal functions so that there's no code in the individual I2C and SPI functions means that the register() and unregister() functions could just be squashed into the bus_probe() and bus_remove() functions - all that the register and unregister functions are is the code that's shared between the bus
I've fixed the first issue by squashing the two patches together and the last one with a patch. The last issue isn't important, it's more for information.
