Is this correct? In the upstream kernel the SAM9X7 supports only standby
and ULP0 (see sam9x7_pm_init()). I don't think it is correct to turn off
the CPU while in ULP0.

Moreover, AFAICT, the MCP16502 will not transition out of active state
according to the FIGURE 4-2: Finite State Machine (FSM) States Diagram for
MCP16502AC from [1] and the schematics from Figure 3-6. Power Management
Integrated Circuit described in [2]. The LPM, HPM are tied to the ground
and SHDN is currently controlled (in the upstream kernel) only for backup
and self-refresh mode (see at91_backup_mode). Am I wrong?

Thank you,
Claudiu
