I analyzed the situation and....
well, it's right, this clock does indeed resolve the issue, also tested locally,
but apparently there is no reference anywhere to why this happens to resolve it.

So, after a bit of extensive research, the only realistic reason here is that
there is some sort of hardware bug/quirk for the clocking of the secondary XHCI
controller.
Whether that is on the clock controller, on the internal paths or wherever else
is curious to know, but I suspect that this would take a lot of time for MediaTek
to perform the research.

What counts is that MediaTek is aware of this situation so that they can internally
understand what is going on with this and resolve that at a hardware level on new
SoC models.

As for what we can do about this, since this is a one-off, we can add that as
the frmcnt_ck one, with a comment in DT saying that this is a bug, and eventually
that we don't know if this has anything to do with the frame counter.

Besides, I also noticed that the CLK_APMIXED_PLL_SSUSB26M is missing from u2port1
and the reason why it works is because other u3phy0 should be enabling that before
u3phy1 inits and/or before the USB controller using U3P1 tries to initialize, so
while you're at it ... if you can please also add that to the u3p1, I appreciate.

			u2port1: usb-phy at 0 {
				reg = <0x0 0x700>;
				clocks = <&apmixedsys CLK_APMIXED_PLL_SSUSB26M>,
					 <&topckgen CLK_TOP_SSUSB_PHY_P1_REF>;
				clock-names = "ref", "da_ref";
				#phy-cells = <1>;
			};

Anyway, nice catch! Waiting for your patch :-)

Cheers,
Angelo
