thanks for the explanation. So the tlli is always valid in the DL
direction and sometimes valid in the UL.

Code duplication (as witnessed with the missing tfi assignment in
(a) algorithm) has the danger that one codepath is fixed while the
others are left broken.

I will then use the version with tlli_valid and kill the code clones.
