AM3352: RXACTIVE default value

Hi,

What is the default value of Pad Control Register's "RXACTIVE" bit after reset?
As per the manual, it is written as "Set to 1 for input or output".
And the sample codes are also explicitly setting RXACTIVE bit to use it as an input function.

But, Low Power Design Guidelines(SPRAC74A)  below mentions that RXACTIVE is set by default after reset.

For the most part, unused interface pins can be left as no-connect.
However, since unused pins are often initialized at reset as inputs (RXACTIVE),
it is up to the software to mark the unused pins as RXACTIVE=0, which disables
the inputs and prevents unwanted input switching.

Please let me know if RXACTIVE = 1 by default?
and if it is required to set this bit through the software or else could be used without any settings
.
And with regards to Output, do we need to disable this bit if use a pin as output only?

Best Regards
Kummi
