or configure the MCBSPx.DX pin as GPO and use it as a GPIO?

Quite novel use of the hardware, no doubt about it. If you don't have
DMA servicing the TX, it will just re-transmit the word from from the
DXR register when the transmitter is pulled out of reset.

Interesting, but I'm not sure if this belongs to DT.
