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