OK, you're right. So on the next series (v6), I will simply remove the
"atmel,flexcom-mode" property from the DT bindings. Then, the driver will
look for the first available child node which "compatible" property contains
one of the substrings "-usart", "-spi" or "-i2c", setting the Flexcom operating
mode accordingly. This child node should be unique.
