There is no change in RM and same recommandation.
My change does not violate the RM. The direction which generates
the clock is still last enabled.

The content for regmap_update_bits is the same, but the precondition
is different.
The first one is for tx=false and enable TCSR.TE. (TX generate clock)
The second one is for tx=true and enable RSCR.RE (RX generate clock)
