Did you disable hdmi-audio?  spi1 is tied up in the audio driver..

With u-boot overlays:

http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Debian_Image_Testing_Snapshots

http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#U-Boot_Overlays

in /boot/uEnv.txt make sure to set:

disable_uboot_overlay_audio=1

then reboot and retry with config-pin..
