Could this be written so that it'd also work with the AT32 CPUs? It certainly has some similarities to the out of tree AC97 driver in the AVR32 kernels.

unsigned short val)+{

Using udelay() might get rather expensive if you end up with a lot of AC97 register access going on. It's not common for plain audio stuff but there are AC97 codecs with additional functionality such as touchscreen interfaces which do a lot more register I/O. A similar issue affected the AVR32 driver, I've no idea if it was fixed there (I know there was code to fix it, but I don't know if it was merged).
+#define ac97c_writel(chip, reg, val) \
- writel((val), (chip)->regs + AC97C_##reg)
+#define ac97c_readl(chip, reg) \
- readl((chip)->regs + AC97C_##reg)
There's a bit of a namespacing issue here - might be better to give them a more at91-specific name. It'd also be nicer to use inline functions rather than macros.
