Yes, you are right, aspeed_sdc_probe() calls clk_prepare_enable(),
aspeed_g6_clk_enable() does reset eMMC.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-of-aspeed.c#n496

However, the clock of eMMC is enabled in my u-boot(2019.04).
So it is retruned in the condition of aspeed_g6_clk_is_enabled() below
and doesn't reset eMMC.
