Basically, the codes are same except renaming ad1938 to ad193x.

We have many discussion about a driver to support both spi and i2c in
another device(ad714x). At the beginning, the way in wm8731.c is used,
then after many comments, people agree splitting the driver to three
modules is the best way. If you are interested in it, you may take a
look at "input/misc: add Analog Devices AD714x captouch input driver"
in linux-input maillist.
