Correct.

Well, this patch was waiting for this other to reach mainline:
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=5621/1

It is true that you will need it.

> Should this driver be also used for sound driver and MCI?

Sure. For sound, maybe we will have to conform to the dma cyclic API
introduced by dw_dmac driver.

For MCI, here is a patch series that goes before the patch that will do
the link between atmel_mci, at_hdmac and at91sam9g45.

This last patch is not posted to the mailing list yet, I am waiting for
the others to reach mainline.

I you are interested in it, you can have a preview here:
ftp://ftp.linux4sam.org/devel/linux/2630_lnx4sam_patchset-tmp_20090828.tgz
patch named :
"at91/atmel-mci: inclusion of sd/mmc driver in at91sam9g45 chip and
board" aka:
2630_lnx4sam_patchset-tmp/2.6.30-at91-exp-0033-at91-atmel-mci-inclusion-of-sd-mmc-driver-in-at91sa.patch

Hope this helps,

Best regards,
