I can see a similar thing done for mcbsp clocks (e.g. /* Merged
func_mcbsp1_gfclk into mcbsp1 */), mmc clocks, timer clocks, mcasp
clock, and sgx clock. i.e. The clock sel (mux) is combined with clock
gate. I don't see why USB host has to be done differently.

Were exceptions made for the above clocks in the auto generation code?

The problem from driver point of view is that it has to manage an
additional clock per port. Not a big deal, but I thought it could be
avoided.
