as far as I know: yes (though I have only ever verified this with the
Ethernet controller's reset line)

this is possible - but I am not sure since I don't have access to
Amlogic's internal resources where this should be documented (my
knowledge mostly comes from reading Amlogic's out-of-tree kernel code
and porting that to mainline)

let me give you a bit of context first:
the Amlogic Meson AXG, GXL and GXM SoCs have one reset line for "USB
components". this is shared among:
- the dwc3 controller
- (depending on the SoC) 2 or 3 USB2 PHYs
- a USB3 PHY
- some OTG detection logic within the registers of the USB3 PHY

(there is also a gate clock which is assigned to the same components)

based on my tests I believe that the reset line is "de-asserted" (=
USB components are working) by default.
asserting that reset line should stop the state machine of all USB
components. de-asserting it again should bring all USB components into
a defined state.
(I'm not sure though if these are HW defaults or if there's some logic
in the bootrom / early stage [pre u-boot] bootloaders)

that said, the "reset" framework currently cannot handle level resets
with shared reset lines which are de-asserted by default.
to bring the USB components into a defined state I would have to use
reset_control_assert() first, then reset_control_deassert(). the reset
framework reports an error in this case: [0]
using a reset pulse however works in any case, the reset framework
ensures that it's only executed once for all shared reset lines (our
reset controller hardware probably asserts and de-asserts the reset
line internally - this is just speculation though)
