+Patch Lst:
+   * Add missing header files symbols for Atmel SAM E70
+      Several missing symbols for same70q21 SoC are added:
+      - TC Channel Mode Register: Waveform Mode definitions
+      - Legacy peripheral IDs definitions
+      - DACC alternate pin functions
+
+    * Remove unused and broken preprocessor macros
+       Header files from Atmel ASF define several preprocessor macros
+       which are unused and break compilation with some toolchains.
+       This patch removes those macros. Currently only from same70q21.h
+       header file which is used by SAM E70 Xplained target board.
+
+    * Add missing interrupt number definitions
+       Adds missing interrupt definitions for SAM GMAC Priority Queues.
