As per my understanding you shouldn't do this.  You should have two patches:

1. Add "max98091".  You could simply post Wonjoon's patch from
<https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/184091>

2. Change the device tree to refer to "max98091"

The argument that the "current kernel driver has a single driver" is
an argument that you're not supposed to make for device tree.  The
same device tree is supposed to work for U-Boot, BSD, or any other
platform.  On those platforms it might not be a shared driver.

Yes please.  I think there's supposed to be some official ordering of
things.  If anyone reading this has a pointer to the official sort
order of things in the device tree I'd love to see it!  ;)
