You can find all AT91 datasheet on Microchip web site [1].

Simple register comparison b/w register mapping at [2] and SAMA5D2
datasheet [3] (which uses the same compatible),  SAM9X60 datasheet [3] and
SAMA7G5 datasheet (not public at the moment) brings up a difference at
register FLEX_US_CR (bits 16, 17) which are not available on SAMA5D2,
SAM9X60 or SAMA7G5. Unless this is a mistake on documentation at [2] I say
it needs a new compatible.

Kavya, could you confirm this?
