[PATCH 3/6] Unified AVR32/AT91 MCI Driver Reset Patch

[Rob Emanuele]

This patch adds the compile time configuration option for the
atmel-mci driver to reset the Atmel MCI controller before every
command.

This is sometimes needed for the Atmel controller / board to function
properly.  In the case of the at91sam9g20-ek this is needed.

Please read the whole set, try it out, and comment.

Thank you,

Rob Emanuele
