+When: 3.7
+Why: There 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
+ so atmel-mci can be used for all chips.
