You can test the consolidated 3.6 based kernel that we are deploying on
our github tree: branch: linux-3.6.9-at91

https://github.com/linux4sam/linux-at91/commits/linux-3.6.9-at91

The SPI code is being review on this mainling list: search for the
following patch series:

"spi/spi-atmel: add dmaengine support for atmel spi controller and to
test the device tree support"
