Well, the at91_ebi_read/write functions in this patch was only meant
for RM9200. Guess I should have called it at91rm9200_ebi_read/write or
something.

Anyway; my goal is to create an EBI driver for AT91RM9200 which will
use DT to setup EBI/SMC for devices hooked up to EBI. This driver will
live in drivers/bus. The sdramc "driver" can continue to live in
mach-at91 but the handling of EBI and SMC will move into a proper
driver.

Do you a better approach?

The two patches I posted was only a clean up to prepare for a proper
driver living in drivers/bus. I'll try to finish up the rest of the
series so you see the whole picture.
