Thanks a lot for your feedback.
1./ using the at25df32 dataflash on the board, 
	based on at91_dt_defconfig default configuration, you need to add the below items:
	
	+CONFIG_MTD_M25P80=y
	+CONFIG_JFFS2_FS=y
	+CONFIG_AT_HDMAC=y

After running in the board, you will get the following message in the starting:

atmel_spi f0000000.spi: version: 0x212
atmel_spi f0000000.spi: DMA channel not available, unable to use SPI
atmel_spi f0000000.spi: Atmel SPI Controller using PIO only
atmel_spi f0000000.spi: Atmel SPI Controller at 0xf0000000 (irq 30)
atmel_spi f0000000.spi: master is unqueued, this is deprecated
m25p80 spi32766.0: at25df321a (4096 Kbytes)

# cat /proc/mtd | grep spi
mtd5: 00400000 00001000 "spi32766.0"

# ls /dev/mtdblock*
/dev/mtdblock0  /dev/mtdblock2  /dev/mtdblock4
/dev/mtdblock1  /dev/mtdblock3  /dev/mtdblock5


2./ using "spidev", based on at91_dt_defconfig default configuration, you need to add the below items:
	
	+CONFIG_SPI_SPIDEV=y

	And you need to change at91sam9x5ek.dtsi as below:


After running in the board, you will get the following message :

# ls /dev/spi*
/dev/spidev32766.0

Best Regards,
Wenyou Yang
