Thanks to point it out.
To use the reset framework, there are some problem.
1. the reset bit is combined with the clocks disable/enable bits in same register. Seperating setting them means spinlock
protection and 2 operations for read-update the bits.


except that, i think reset framework can bring some benefits.


Even without the reset bit, we still need the gate clocks.
The enable/disable is not a bit operation, and it is bits operation for some devices.
In fact i want to use it to replace the old clk-apbc and clk-apmu clocks.

For power optimization, some clocks need to be enabled/disable in interrupt context.
The worst delay is rate=32KHZ, so the delay is 62.5us.
