Not quiet. I had to fix arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/at91/at91sam9263_devices.c
additionally.

With my adoptions, my boards builds fine. But they do not boot.
Can you really confirm that the at91sam9260ek board boots? I have no
chance to debug my problems, so I have no idea, why my boards does not boot.

Nevertheless, should I send my patches for reviewing?
