There is no comment why we can reuse them, they can also be some wrong
case for example the RXINT_DRQ_EN bit is not present in RXSTA and same
for STAT bit present in RXSTA and not present in RXINT.

I have discover and read this code a month ago and this logic is
really not obvious nor explain.

Maybe this hack could be done when we will introduce a quirks, but for
the moment I really think that it's more proper and readable to
introduce them properly.
