I am not sure if that's really the same issue as described by Otto

(assuming that your comment relates to the of_reset_control_get_shared
call below)
I checked rockchip_usb_phy_action and it's not calling reset_control_put either
this looks strange to me and I would say that there's a memory leak.

are you sure that your patch fixes USB hotplug for you?

the new reset callback is a no-op because it's not called
the code below (of_reset_control_get_shared) only fetches the same
reset line that we are already using
so I am not sure what changed behavior you are seeing - can you please
explain this in more detail?

indeed, the USB_OTG reset is shared

have you found where the patched Amlogic kernel/u-boot use these reset lines?
if they need to be managed by us then we probably have a bug, because
we're not currently using these anywhere

I am happy about everyone who helps fixing the USB hotplug issue!
it's a tricky issue where I don't even know if the USB PHY, dwc2
controller or something else is the culprit
so any help is appreciated :)
