I think we need something smarter here. There are reset bits all over
the place. After a hint by Emilio and small chat with Oliver I've
realized I have 3 reset bits in USB host clock module [0].

Maybe implementation like this one [1] where a mask can be passed as a
parameter will be more appropriate? (Those reset bits behave the same
as gatable clocks really.)

Best,
Arokux
