The only time that software should write to the TDH register
is after a reset (hardware reset or CTRL.RST) and
before enabling the transmit function (TXDCTL.ENABLE).
If software were to write to this register while the transmit
function was enabled, the on-chip descriptor buffers might
be invalidated and the hardware could become confused.
