I agree, I just didn't know a new series will follow, maybe I missed 
this point.

Maybe I am a bit too picky (or boring: if I am, please told me), but 
this series by itself adds regression to all users of >= 9x5 boards 
(sama5, …) because it merges MEM target and MEM+SLOW_CLOCK target, which 
used to be too different target states, not selectable at runtime indeed 
but this is still in practice two different target states. Note that I 
am not saying that MEM target and MEM+SLOW_CLOCK target should not be 
merged, they should, absolutely ;-). For >= 9x5 boards (sama5, …), MEM 
target works and MEM+SLOW_CLOCK target does not work, MEM and 
MEM+SLOW_CLOCK merge breaks MEM target for those boards.

There is however a good news !, at91_pm_verify_clocks() used to be 
called for MEM target without considering if it was MEM (~STANDBY) or 
MEM+SLOW_CLOCK. It means that all MEM target users can with very good 
chance go to a deeper sleep state without issue because 
at91_pm_verify_clocks() successfully checked on those boards and is why 
we can merge MEM and MEM+SLOW_CLOCK without adding a regression.

Care should be taken to pull-request at the same time both the rework 
and the above cited following series about slow clock support for all 
known boards so we don't break MEM target for a release cycle.

Well, at the current mainline state, everything works fine for me except 
slow clock mode, I thoroughly checked everything else.
