Looks like the SAMA5D2x PIO controller differs from the SAMA5D3x and D4x
PIO controllers. So the PIO/ISR configuration probably needs to be updated.
I'm giving this a shot, but not sure how best to tackle this. Should I look
at the Linux4SAM code? Or is reading the datasheet the best way to go?
Deciphering that is pretty slow going.

cheers
