I assume all at91 mcu support the same PIO IP (I don't know for the M42800A).
AFAIK the bit field definitions from thomas applies only when CYGHWR_HAL_ARM_AT91 is R40807 or R40008 (maybe M42800A), more generally for the whole AT91x40xxx family.

Moreover the bit definition does not apply only for the PSR, but for all PIO registers. Why not renaming them from AT91_PIO_PSR_XXX to AT91_PIO_XXX.

IMHO, it is not a good idea to provide "default values" for the peripheral base address (AT91_PIO, AT91_AIC,...). The memory mapping of the peripheral is know at mcu level (ie in at91/var package), so it should be defined here (directly in this file or with an include).
