Because I didn't know about this driver. I searched someting for AT91 and missed that one. Surly in mainline AT91 support should be added for pata_at32 driver. In my company case we want to go into production with 2.6.27 kernel, PATA is marked as experimental even in 2.6.28. I don't know if better to use PATA or IDE stack for our case.
