Well the first mail wasn't very clear. I am going to explain what we
have in mind.

In Linux code for AT91 timer there are two files: at91sam926x_time.c
and at91rm9200_time.c because AT91RM9200 and AT91SAM926x have
different system timer: AT91RM9200 use AT91_ST peripheral and
AT91SAM926x use AT91_PIT peripheral.
But with i-pipe we use TC (timer counter) in both case, and code is
the same (the only difference are in the name of internal function).
When CONFIG_IPIPE is defined, original Linux code is no more used and
it is new i-pipe code which is used.
I suggest to add a new file in i-pipe patch, let's call it
"at91ipipe_time.c". In this file we will find the common ipipe code.
This file will be compiled in place of at91sam926x_time.c and
at91rm9200_time.c. For doing this we just have to change Makefile with
something like this:

# CPU-specific support
obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_AT91RM9200)   += at91rm9200.o at91rm9200_devices.o
obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9260)  += at91sam9260.o at91sam9260_devices.o
obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9261)  += at91sam9261.o at91sam9261_devices.o

ifeq ($(CONFIG_IPIPE),y)
obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_AT91RM9200)   += at91ipipe_time.o
obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9260)  += at91ipipe_time.o
obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9261)  += at91ipipe_time.o at91sam9261_devices.o
else
obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_AT91RM9200)   += at91rm9200_time.o
obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9260)  += at91sam926x_time.o
obj-$(CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9261)  += at91sam926x_time.o
endif
