Need some info - how many boards still pending to use this driver to use it in dm?
For now, only sama5d2_xplained has used this drive in dm, other boards with AT91 SoC has not used dm driver, such as at91sam9g20ek, at91sam9x5ek, at91sam9m10g45ek, sama5d3xek. sama5d4ek, ....
Please convert these boards to dm as well, because driver still have non-dm code never know when it gets removed.
non-dm code has to live for some time since this is a shared driver for avr32 and arm architecture of atmel SoC. Unfortunately avr32 still lacks dm support in u-boot. I have some prepared patches but AFAIR there was a problem with early malloc ... after that I had no time to get it done.
Beside that I also insist on converting the remaining at91 boards to dm. Since there are some boards I would suggest a time frame until end of this year.
OK, look like avr32 should be a blocker here since at91 boards can do at-least. What is the plan on avr32, shall I look in to it?
I hope I can look for it in next couple of month. So v2016.11 should be doable, maybe v2017.01. Do you have some avr32 hardware to verify it?
Andreas
thanks!

It would be hard to verify it, if you would have taken that task ... So I'll do it, with a lower priority sometime next months.

thanks!
