I *think* it is actually closer to a BSD-3c, since it has the following
text:

 * Atmel's name may not be used to endorse or promote products derived from
 * this software without specific prior written permission.

However, the wording is not 100% the one of the BSD-3c, so I'm not sure
if we should call it BSD-3c or not.

Probably you are right, the wording is more similar to a BSD-3c
instead of a BSD-2c, but it's different. Can we use something like
BSD-custom or BSD-modified?

 I would say

BSD-2c with endorsement clause

 That's still relatively short but also clear.
