Both drivers have used same entry point and difference as I see that: old
boards return some list of sensors with names, new one always returns zero as
count of sensors and requires some hardcoded list of sensors. And list of old
and new boards is not intersected.

As for me, when we have 30% of similar code better have one driver for both
cases. Currently driver has 1126 lines.

(I have not calculated real size of shared code so it can be bigger or less.)

Do you like to be in MAINTAINERS list?

Also good news, no EC also will go in next round of updated patches.
