I don't have any familiarity with either of these, but a cursory
inspection shows me that most AT91 chips use the MACB driver. I don't
see much in similarities between the MACB driver and the 9200 driver, so
don't know if joining them makes sense. I don't remember any discussion
about this - can you send a pointer?
Is there a chance that you can port the AT91RM9200 driver to the
NET_MULTI API? Mike Frysinger just submitted a document detailing the
process (doc/README.drivers.eth) I've done this with several drivers
and it's not very hard.
