And now when I retry the same thing, that patch is no longer affecting things.
I must have confused myself over what kernel was actually running. Christian,
please accept my deepest apologies for implicating you in this regression.

But the regression is still there. In short, linux-3.18-at91 from the
linux4sam tree works, linux-4.1-at91 from the same tree does not, and
vanilla 4.2 also doesn't work. I have a hard time bisecting this thing
though, since the last known good version has a long list of atmel
patches that I refuse to even try to rebase...

Ideas still welcome of course.

Cheers,
Peter
