If you're in the dark, you can still  admire  the  many,  many  small
stars that shine on you, while others who walk in the bright sunlight
may feel warm and comfortable, but actually live in a somewhat poorer
world :-)

> 1) How to port the CFI to the AT91RM9200DK.

There is nothing to port. You just enable  it  in  the  board  config
file.  See for example the recent patch for the TQM8260 board. That's
all you need to do.

If you use git, then all you need to do is using git-format-patch and
git-send-email :-)

Best regards,
