Ok, that was just for testing.

I am trying to write a driver for pcf8563 (RTC similar to ds1672) but 
when I call the iicbus_transfer() function the iicbus_transfer_gen() is 
called instead of at91_twi_transfer().
In the kernel config file I have:
...
device   at91_twi
device   iicbus
...

Is this correct or I miss something else?
