No, the registers aren't shared, but on the JH7100 clock and reset had
separate ranges, but on the JH7110 there is just one memory range for
each "CRG", clock and reset generator I presume, and the reset
registers are placed after the clock registers in the same range.

In my original code the clock driver just registers the resets too
similar to other combined clock and reset drivers. I wonder what you
think about that approach:

and
