Yes it is. Commit id that I am referring to in patch 1/2 
(055560b04a8cd063aea916fd083b7aec02c2adb8) hit the mainline in 3.12-rc 
time-frame.

It will break all older at91 in 3.12-final. Moreover, I do think that 
the actual patches are bringing an incorrect solution and I do not plan 
to have a better one (which one?) for 3.13...

I do not know what to cleanup. Anyway, tell me if you want that I resend 
the series of 2 patches with the "Tested-by" tag included.
