Did you check that it's not documented in the manual already?

Sure, that will work fine. Each pin will be directly connected to a
pin on the flash chip.

Yes Atmel, but "AVR" says nothing about which family of devices you
mean. If it's the wee small 8-bit ones I wouldn't bother, on the
other hand if you have a toolchain then sure, why not!

It's fairly simple. Pick up a flash chip datasheet and you've
actually already got mostly all you need to know. The flashrom source
code can also help, but be careful to not get unneccessarily confused
by the code to deal with different types of SPI bus masters in there.

Yup. What city are you in?
