The "atmel,flexcom-mode" property is always required. The reset value of the
Operating Mode bit field inside the Flexcom Mode Register is 0 for "no serial
device". So none of the 3 embedded serial devices is clocked and all of their
registers are inaccessible (read as zero).
Before using any of the 3 serial devices, the Operating Mode must be set
accordingly by updating the Mode Register. Once done, only the selected serial
device is clocked. Also the external I/O lines of the Flexcom are muxed to
reach the selected serial device.

The muxing is given by the following table:

Flexcom pin    USART pin    SPI pin    I2C pin
        IO0          TXD       MOSI        TWD
        IO1          RXD       MISO       TWCK
        IO2          SCK       SPCK          -
        IO3          CTS      NPCS0          - 
        IO4          RTS      NPCS1          -


Bus conflicting configuration:

| |_____|       |_____|       |_____|  |
|______________________________________|


For instance, it is very unlikely to connect both I2C and SPI slaves to
the very same Flexcom because I/O lines are shared. The operating mode is
selected once for all during the boot and will never change during runtime.
That's why the Flexcom DT node should have exactly one child.

OK, I will remove the label in the next series.

Thanks for your review :)
