Yes the phy mode is configured to USBPHY_INTERFACE_MODE_ULPI.
Indeed, this phy need to be out of reset to work. For example everything works fine if I call 
"_ci_usb_phy_init(ci);" before calling "hw_phymode_configure(ci);"
This function only init reset GPIO and clock.

For information, the original patch I have to fix the issue:

So if some ULPI phys need to be initialised before calling "hw_phymode_configure", is it acceptable
if I separate "case USBPHY_INTERFACE_MODE_ULPI:" and add a DT binding ("init_phy_first") to define
the order to call both functions?

Something like:

case USBPHY_INTERFACE_MODE_ULPI:
	if (ci->platdata->init_phy_first) {
		ret = _ci_usb_phy_init(ci);
                if (!ret)
       	                hw_wait_phy_stable();
               	else
                       	return ret;
	}
	hw_phymode_configure(ci);
	if (!ci->platdata->init_phy_first) {
		ret = _ci_usb_phy_init(ci);
                if (ret)
               	        return ret;
	}
	break;

This approach will not modify current behaviour but allow to initialize phy first on demand.
