Sorry for not having coming back to you earlier, summertime...

What you are looking for is what Cristian developed in our "vendor tree" 
and that needs to be "Mainlined":
https://github.com/linux4sam/linux-at91/commit/ca368f544899c14b03df9ce7510684f03acf1bf9

It allows us to have a gigabit Ethernet HSIC connected on our sama5d2 
ICP board. It works well for some time.

For DT, we rely on the standard "phy_type" property set to "hsic" as 
highlighted in this DT node on the ICP board precisely:
https://github.com/linux4sam/linux-at91/blob/master/arch/arm/boot/dts/at91-sama5d2_icp.dts#L766

This way we can use the of_usb_get_phy_mode() standard function:
https://github.com/linux4sam/linux-at91/blob/master/drivers/usb/phy/of.c#L28

All this tells me that I would prefer Cristi's approach. If agreed, 
we'll make sure to make progress on the mainlining part soon.

Hope that it helps. Best regards,
   Nicolas
