My apologies, I still do not understand what is wrong with the commit 
message. My intention was to ensure that every 9x60 usart compatible is 
followed by the 9260 compatibles because the 9x60 serial IP is an 
improvement over the 9260 one. Would you prefer it to be just the first 
part of the commit message: `Add the AT91SAM9260 serial compatibles to 
the list of SAM9X60 compatibles`? That way it would really only be what 
the commit does.

Thank you,
