+What:   at91-mci driver ("CONFIG_MMC_AT91")
+When:   3.7
+Why:    There are two mci drivers: at91-mci and atmel-mci. The PDC support
+        was added to atmel-mci as a first step to support more chips.
+        Then at91-mci was kept only for old IP versions (on at91rm9200 and
+        at91sam9261). The support of these IP versions has just been added
+        to atmel-mci, so atmel-mci can be used for all chips.
