If you think this is not too late in the cycle, I would say go ahead ;)

As discussed some weeks ago, I prepared patches to switch sama5d[3-4] to
multiplatform. We are still missing the SMC and matrix drivers to switch
sam9 and rm9200.

The currently affected drivers are:
 - drivers/ata/pata_at91.c (SMC)
 - drivers/pcmcia/at91_cf.c (SMC)
 - drivers/usb/gadget/udc/at91_udc.c (Matrix, this is the only one
   for sam9)
 - sound/atmel/ac97c.c (that one is still not converted to DT anyway...)
 - drivers/watchdog/at91rm9200_wdt.c (WIP, will be converted properly to
   an MFD)

I'll resume working on that in December.

Do you want me to submit the sama5d[3-4] switch for 3.19? I'll have to
rebase on that series. The main remaining issue is that I couldn't work
out a way not breaking the defconfigs, even after talking with the
Kconfig maintainer so doing first sama5 then sam9/rm9200 will break the
defconfigs for sam9/rm9200 twice.
