If the number of input sources of adc0 of ad1989a is more than those of adc1
and adc2

This may mean that you will need to implement a specific
ad1989a_capture_mixer[] for ad1989a instead of using ad1988_capture_mixer
and

may need to implement ad1989a_pcm_analog_alt_capture  for adc1 and adc2
similar to alc880_pcm_analog_alt_capture
