Why did you replace the spaces after #define with tabs ?
I understand this is done in the at91.h file, but that is bad enough,
it doesn't add any value, and I don't see a reason to do it here.

I just realized - this interrupt is registered with flags set to 0,
while in the at91sam driver the flags are "IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_IRQPOLL |
IRQF_NO_SUSPEND". Is this different with the new SOC ?
