After double checking the datasheet:
- RXEN "enables the receive buffer management [...]. Setting this bit resets the RXDIS bit"
- "Setting [RXDIS] disables the receiver from buffering data to memory or the Receive FIFO. [...] The RXEN bit is reset when the receiver is disabled."

So RXEN and RXDIS are mutually exclusive, except in transition phases when a packet is currently received and you're setting RXEN/RXDIS.
As QEMU doesn't emulate the period of reception of a packet (packet is received at once), both flag checks are equivalent.

So, I'll withdraw this patch in v3.
