Now that Reinhard brings this up I would also say the name gen_atmel_mci
is better than atmel_mci here cause it implements the GENERIC_MMC
framework. So I guess it would be best to have again two patches:
 1. switch all AVR32 (and AT91, if there are still some) to
    gen_atmel_mci
 2. remove legacy atmel_mci (but no renaming)

But before applying I would like to dig into my issue with the special
card. So maybe do 1) immediately and 2) later, I don't think I will get
the issue til merge window is closed and maybe not until final release
2011.12.

best regards
