Ludovic and Chris,

Sure, I will take 1/2 patch of this series through arm-soc.
Unfortunately, it seems to be a bit late for 3.5...

Anyway, I will talk with Arnd and Olof about the possibility to include
it in a "late" or "staging" branch: that will allow this platform data
addition to have some exposure in linux-next.
We can also imagine that having a better support for atmel-mci driver in
AT91 boards will help people gain a more stable system and avoid using a
now "deprecated" driver that will be removed in 3.7. So I am personally
in favor for an inclusion as soon as possible...

Thanks, best regards,
