Could be possible to commit my patch (I need it for the PM9261/PM9263 
patches) because the moving from AR to LD will take a lot of time.
When the moving from AR to LD is done, I will correct my board's patches.

Otherwise I must wait a lot of time and must change my patches every 
time when there is an correction in the at91 platform.
