At least on AT91 platforms and likely on most ARM boards,
memcpy_fromio == memcpy_toio == memcpy.

I got some sama5d2 hardware last week, so I'll try to test your patch
within few days because as you said maybe memcpy() was broken when I
developed this driver at first but now memcpy() is likely to have been
fixed so it might be interesting to get rid of _memcpy_fromio() and
_memcpy_toio() because this is not the first time those 2 functions have
created issues when building the Atmel Quad SPI driver on other platforms.

So thanks for you're patch, I'll give it a try :)

Best regards,

Cyrille
