The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new 'BackupMethod' setting to Trezor's device communication protocol. It lets the wallet software tell the device how to handle backup or recovery of the secret recovery words. The change only defines the new enum and wires it into three messages (ResetDevice, BackupDevice, RecoveryDevice); it does not add any actual backup/recovery behavior. There is no security fix or vulnerability visible in this patch.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as a normal feature commit. Monitor follow-up commits that implement the N4W1 backup method for actual security implications.
