Sorry for the late reply.

Either of those should work - the DataFlash support was merged before
then.

There is one item I think I forgot to mention.

In the at91_dataflash.c driver, change the line:
    device->type = MTD_NORFLASH;
to
    device->type = MTD_DATAFLASH;

Then also make sure you have "JFFS2 write-buffering support" enabled in
the configuration.  (It's under the File Systems menu).

You should see the message "JFFS2 write-buffering enabled" printed to
kernel log when you mount the partition.  If you don't see it, the
Dataflash support is not correctly enabled.
