For v2, I dropped this patch from the series.
Apparently this patch is not needed, nor does it have any impact on
HyperFLASH read operation on Salvator-XS with R-Car M3-N ES1.0 and
Ebisu-4D with R-Car E3 ES1.0.
On Salvator-X with R-Car M3-W ES1.0, there is a different issue causing
random bit flips (which is not solved by the Strobe Timing Adjustment
bit (STRTIM) fix for R-Car M3-W ES1.x in the BSP).
On Salvator-XS with R-Car H3-ES2.0, corruption is seen after s2ram.
TL;DR: while this patch does have impact on that, RPC operation after
s2ram is still not guaranteed, and the core issue is still not
understood.

For testing, I use the following command to read /dev/mtdblock1 (which
contains the BL2 bootloader) and check its checksum 100 times:
time sha256sum -c <(yes $(cat mtdblock1.sha256sum) | head -100)
After boot and s2idle, the success rate is 100%.
1. Without this patch, the failure rate after s2ram is ca. 65%.
When splitting and comparing the data read back, some blocks of 64 KiB
(but not always the same on different runs) have been replaced by bad
data, containing either data from elsewhere, or all ones. The latter is
probably the same symptom as the former, as the HyperFLASH does contain
blocks with all-ones data.
The data from elsewhere looks like e.g.:

For both hexdumps above, offsets are absolute FLASH offsets, not relative
partition offsets. Still, there is some similarity (e.g. 0x46f10 vs.
0x6f1000).
2. With this patch, the failure rate of 100 reads after s2ram is either
0%, or 100%. The same is true after subsequent s2ram operations.
Contrary to before this patch, in case of corruption, the data read back
is always the same: i.e. either the good data is read back, or the exact
same bad data is read back. In case of bad data, some blocks of 64 KiB
have been replaced by blocks containing either data from elsewhere,
or all ones again....
