The controller used by a flexcom module is configured at boot, and left
alone after this. As the configuration will be lost after backup mode,
restore the state of the flexcom driver on resume.

Nit: I'd prefer if you call this 'ddata'.
But the concept and implementation is fine, so if you're going to
change it please do so and apply my:

Also, 'back-up mode' isn't really a thing is it?
How about "Reinstall state on resume" or similar?

The expression comes from the SAMA5D2's datasheet.
Other Atmel chips use a different single suspend mode with Linux, where
the SoC remains completely powered with a slow clock. The registers are
preserved in this mode, so there is no need for a specific suspend and
resume code.
The SoC can also be powered down, but the CPU is reset and only a small
part is powered with a backup battery to maintain a valid RTC and a
small internal SRAM.
In the SAMA5D2, the mode with only the backup power supply has been
extended to isolate the memory I/O lines, making it possible to keep the
external SDRAM memory in self-refresh. This mode has a lower consumption
compared to the slow clock mode, but it has a higher wakeup latency, and
needs specific software support in the bootloader and the kernel.
As a result, the "backup mode" expression is used to contrast with the
"slow clock" expression when describing the different suspend modes
supported by the chip.
But if you think that it is necessary, I can reword the commit.
Best regards,

aka: Ultra Low Power modes (ULP0 and ULP1).

Thanks for the whole explanation Romain.
Yes we have such a wording in our documents and we used some kind of
"Backup mode", "Backup+Self-Refresh (B+SR or B+S-R)", "Backup and DDR in
Self-refresh" or "suspend-to-mem" wording for our patches. I take
advantage of this discussion to list all them here, for the record ;-)
So, I have the feeling that together with the commit message itself, we
can go with this wording.
Best regards,

No, no need. Thanks for the excellent explanation.
It might be worth you providing a succinct description of the
datasheet's meaning of "back-up mode" though.
