Certernly not ALL of the current work is too allow in a UNIQUE kernel to have
all the atmel inside and other vendors and boards in the same kernel

and for at91_sys_read it's not a big deal as I'm going to drop it at the end
the timers does not use it anymore and the other drivers will update also one
by one

Yeah as I said already I need to fix a lots of place and I do it step by step
so for now on I do not update the at91_cpu_identify & co but I will in time

Because It will never allow you to have a __cpu_is_ soc specific
which is the goal here
