You set it in TCON0_IO_POL_REG, which sets the clock phase delay.
I think we were setting this before, but you removed it as part of
the previous TCON clean up patches?

In the A33, there are even more options, like DCLK / 2 (with 0 or 90
degree phase delay).

Looks like mux bits to me. How they differ from TCON0_IO_POL_REG is
beyond me ATM.
