If so and you only support mainline BuildRoot then why does Alexandre's sam9x5ek patches contain Linux4sam URLs (ie URL=https://github.com/linux4sam/linux-at91.git and URL="git://github.com/linux4sam/u-boot-at91.git" ) shown here http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/473928/

Atmel is. I'm using their version of the kernel, u-boot and
at91bootstrap because they are maintaining stble versions of each.

Yes.

It will also work on buildroot-at91 but this doesn't make any sense to try that. As it is older and is actually outdated.
