It might not be the problem you are faced with but note that at91
is moving towards probing all devices using the device tree, so
starting with linux-3.4 you should be defining the device in the
at91sam9g20ek.dts file for your board and use the generic
board-dt.c file. The platform_data gets replaced with
calls to of_get_gpio() in that case.
