Thanks for reporting this. Unfortunately it is difficult to test for
me, since I do not have the hardware and there are no error messages.
However, if you add the following line

#define DEBUG

to the top of drivers/spi/atmel_spi.c (before the #include directives)
and recompile the kernel, then you would get lots of debug output
which could help us pinpoint the problem.
