I realised that bringing down the clock to 10Mbps should be the last operation
of the link down process, the reason being if we bring down the clocks first it will
deprive essential internal clocks to DMA/MTL modules which are required for
Cleanup operations this might cause excessive delays in stopping DMA
or flusing MTL queues.
