I've developed a clock driver for A1 and verified it against the Amlogic
custom driver and datasheet. As you pointed out, there are indeed two
USB phy clocks.
They are labeled as follows in my clock driver:
* CLKID_USB_PHY_IN (xtal -> usb_phy gated clock) - the phy input clock
* CLKID_USB_PHY (SYS_CLK_EN based gate) - the synopsys IP gated clock

The current representation of the USB phy clocks is solely based on
my technical opinion, as the datasheet does not provide any detailed
information about them.

Ah, my fault..

Indeed, during the bringup process, I was surprised to discover that
the dwc2 engine wasn't starting properly. It was quite unexpected, but
also admittedly intriguing as I delved into the issue and tried to
understand the root cause.
