This patch does a few small cleanups around the atmel mci platform code
and in the atmel-mci driver. The platform changes simply removes an
unused variable, uses the fact that by the end we always have some form
of platform data and notes that GPIO_PIN_NONE != 0. This last point
could cause the incorrect attempt to twice reserve pin PA0.
While we've got the hood up, add linux/err.h to the atmel-mci.c include
list. It needs it and generally pulls it by voodoo but I did once
stumble across a config which don't build.
This is against Linus' latest git.

Relax requirements on host controllers and only require that they do not
report a transfer count than is larger than the actual one (i.e. a lower
value is okay). This is how many other parts of the kernel behaves so
upper layers should already be prepared to handle that scenario. This
gives us a performance boost on MMC cards.

This is a driver for the MMC controller on the AP7000 chips from
Atmel. It should in theory work on AT91 systems too with some
tweaking, but since the DMA interface is quite different, it's not
entirely clear if it's worth merging this with the at91_mci driver.
This driver has been around for a while in BSPs and kernel sources
provided by Atmel, but this particular version uses the generic DMA
Engine framework (with the slave extensions) instead of an
avr32-only DMA controller framework.
This driver can also use PIO transfers when no DMA channels are
available, and for transfers where using DMA may be difficult or
impractical for some reason (e.g. the DMA setup overhead is usually
not worth it for very short transfers, and badly aligned buffers or
lengths are difficult to handle.)
Currently, the driver only support PIO transfers. DMA support has been
split out to a separate patch to hopefully make it easier to review.
The driver has been tested using mmc-block and ext3fs on several SD,
SDHC and MMC+ cards. Reads and writes work fine, with read transfer
rates up to 3.5 MiB/s on fast cards with debugging disabled.
The driver has also been tested using the mmc_test module on the same
cards. All tests except 7, 9, 15 and 17 succeed. The first two are
unsupported by all the cards I have, so I don't know if the driver
handles this correctly. The last two fail because the hardware flags a
Data CRC Error instead of a Data Timeout error. I'm not sure how to deal
with that.
Documentation for this controller can be found in many data sheets from
Atmel, including the AT32AP7000 data sheet which can be found here:
