I've not read this properly yet but on a first quick scan through this
bears a more than passing resemblance to the MAX98088 driver - are there
sufficient incompatibilities between the chips to warrant having a
separate driver?  http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/MAX98088.pdf
would suggest not...  

Keeping a single driver means less code to maintain, which is generally
a win.  Variations between the parts can be accommodated by registering
different controls and so on based on the I2C device ID that the system
registers.
