I'm using my RTC-patch with the same CPU. Custom AT91SAM9260 board,
external RTC because of AT's errata...

I'm using it with ".max_speed_hz = 1 * 1000 * 1000," instead of 2 MHz.
Can you try with slower speed? My patch (rev 3) and this small
ek_spi_devices[] modification should be enough.

I have it on bus = 0, chip_select = 1, so I've also removed dataflash
parts from ek_spi_devices[] (we're using NOR flash). But for you this
is not needed.

I also have a patch to add support for M41T94's watchdog timer. It's
not clean enough to be submitted upstreams yet. If you need it I can
email it to you.
