I talked about this again and maybe he didn't seem to accept its description like that
Because he just focused on the term 'disable' in the description.
Instead, there is an vendor sfr to clear all the contexts.

Yes, the description contains like this, but I think he could think it's done when setting one.
--
When HCE is ‘0’ and software writes ‘1’, the host 
controller hardware shall execute the step 2 described in 7.1.1 of this standard, 
including >>>>> reset <<<<< of the host UTP and UIC layers.

Of course, some statements, such as 8.2.2. UIC Error Handling, seems to show setting zero means clearing.
But speaking the description, it's not quite clear to me.

Anyway, let me know how to deal with this.

Thanks.
