It is requirement by IC guys, and this value is used at some RTL logic
which don't need software operation.

The portsc.pts is only need to be set only time, at initialization routine,
the same for phy init.

After init finishes, we can control phy clock by runtime pm, it was what
I did for PM patchset for chipidea driver.

After init, the phy clock management will not be related to portsc.pts.
