SN65MLVD206: RE/DE Shorted together

Part Number: SN65MLVD206

Team,

I have a question from a customer per the below circuit configuration. Is it OK to short the two signals - RE+DE and R+D?

The two signals RE+DE and R+D are wire-ored. The R/D signal is being used for SPI clock connected to a controller. The controller can be master or slave hence the need to drive or receive the clock signal. 

I appreciate the help!
