By doing that at91_pm_verify_clocks() is now called for both MEM and 
STANDBY targets.

In my opinion this function is misnamed and should be called 
at91_pm_verify_clocks_for_slow_clock_mode(). This function actually 
checks if we can safely switch to slow clock mode, if some peripherals 
are still using the master clock, we abort the suspend because we can't 
suspend in good condition. Hard unclocking peripherals which ask for a 
soft stop, like USB controllers, is something we should avoid doing.

This function checks if USB PLL and PLL B are stopped, if PCK0..PCK3 are 
stopped too (or just using the 32k clock). If all drivers suspended 
correctly this is the state we expect and we can suspend in a deep 
state.

Not this is currently not the case in linux-next, suspend/resume support 
to all Atmel USB drivers (ehci-atmel,ohci-at91,atmel_usba,at91_udc) are 
in my series:

   <1421945805-31129-1-git-send-email-sylvain.rochet@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

We are not going to change any clock for STANDBY target, there is no 
clock to check, so we don't need to call at91_pm_verify_clocks() for 
this target.
