+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.
