The Atmel U-Boot for the AT91SAM9260/1/3 chips uses a common
driver for dataflash.  This is located in the "drivers/at45.c"
If the Atmel U-boot patches are installed, it will break the
"board/at91rm9200dk" and "board/cmc_pu2" since it duplicates
the functionality.
Additional boards coming from Atmel will use the same dataflash driver.
The "board/at91rm9200dk/at45.c" functionality is split
into a CPU dependent part located in "cpu/arm926ejs/at91sam926x/spi.c"
and the "board/at45.c" file.

I tried to start the process of merging with mainstream U-boot
by sending in a patch which split the at45.c located in
board/at91rm9200dk into
* drivers/at45.c
* cpu/arm920t/at91rm9200/spi.c
but I have no feedback.

Peter Pearse which will be responsible for maintaining the ARM part
is not up to speed yet, and noone else seems to be interested.

There has been a discussion about how dataflash should be supported
but the things people do not like are not in this file, they
are in the "board/dataflash.c" file so I have no clue
why nothing is happening.
