There is an at91x40 defconfig in arch/arm/configs/at91x40_defconfig.
Did you start with that?
I notice that the processor ID you have in your defconfig is quite
different to the one in there...

Some comments on the changes below. Ultimately though you need to break this
single diff up into well defined logical changes. In other words make a patch
series out of it.

You don't need this if you are not using the MTD/uclinux.o driver.
And your defconfig doesn't have this enabled.

You probably want to leave these as they were. Modify your resource defines
in at91x40_devices.c and add AT91_BASE_SYS to the AT91_USARTx values. That
is more consistent with all other users of these defines.

I need to look back at some of my older working examples to see why
this is a problem now.

Does skyeye report a processor ID of 0x4180770 when running?
I have used skyeye to run this code in before, and I don't recall
having to change this.
