Not the USB phy layer, but the generic phy layer. All you need to do is
add a new phy provider and add support for it from within dwc3.
Something like below:

diff --git a/drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c b/drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c
index 9f0e209b8f6c..55a85b40e43e 100644
--- a/drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c
+++ b/drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c
@@ -653,6 +653,19 @@ static int dwc3_core_get_phy(struct dwc3 *dwc)
 		}
 	}
 
+	dwc->usb3_typec_phy = devm_phy_get(dev, "usb3-typec-phy");
+	if (IS_ERR(dwc->usb3_typec_phy)) {
+		ret = PTR_ERR(dwc->usb3_typec_phy);
+		if (ret == -ENOSYS || ret == -ENODEV) {
+			dwc->usb3_typec_phy = NULL;
+		} else if (ret == -EPROBE_DEFER) {
+			return ret;
+		} else {
+			dev_err(dev, "no usb3 typeC phy, continuing without\n");
+			dwc->usb3_typec_phy = NULL;
+		}
+	}
+
 	return 0;
 }
 

The only interesting part will be dealing with the other modes of
operation, I haven't wrapped my head around it yet.
