The dm9000 is on the LPC3131 reference design board. It is not our
hardware so I'm not sure what it is doing with the GPIO pin. I'm
porting the reference board code in the hopes that someone will help
out in this effort.

Another piece of board specific glue is this bit that needs to be
executed before accessing the dm9000. It puts the bus in the board's
range in 8/16/32b mode, timings, etc.

tatic void __init ea_add_device_dm9000(void)
{
	/*
	 * Configure Chip-Select 2 on SMC for the DM9000.
	 * Note: These timings were calculated for MASTER_CLOCK = 90000000
	 *  according to the DM9000 timings.
	 */
	MPMC_STCONFIG1 = 0x81;
	MPMC_STWTWEN1 = 1;
	MPMC_STWTOEN1 = 1;
	MPMC_STWTRD1 = 4;
	MPMC_STWTPG1 = 1;
	MPMC_STWTWR1 = 1;
	MPMC_STWTTURN1 = 2;
	/* enable oe toggle between consec reads */
	SYS_MPMC_WTD_DEL1 = _BIT(5) | 4;

An external  LCD controller on CS1 needs a different setup.

static void __init ea_add_device_ssd1289(void)
{
	MPMC_STCONFIG0 = 0x81;
	MPMC_STWTWEN0  = 0;
	MPMC_STWTOEN0  = 0;
	MPMC_STWTRD0   = 31;
	MPMC_STWTPG0   = 0;
	MPMC_STWTWR0   = 3;
	MPMC_STWTTURN0 = 0;
