once TSC is set, it cannot be changed, even after poweroff. i must
restart transceiver before every new start of osmo-bts. before osmo-bts
start provisioning transceiver, it sends poweroff to all trx. also if
bsc fails, transceiver is turned off and provisioned after bsc link is
restored. with the single trx version of transceiver it worked all the
time. i think there should be a solution for that problem.
