There is no problem now ! Because trbe_enable_hw() calls clr_trbe_status().

But is not that the behaviour already without this change ?
clr_trbe_status() in trbe_enable_hw() ensures that no TRBE session can be
started without first clearing the existing status. Still wondering what
is the purpose of this change ?
