To answer the question "doesn't synopsys provide their own set of
registers", we provide registers in our USB cores to access the PHYs
through I2C, ULPI/UTMI, or PIPE3 interfaces. But if someone wants to use
our PHY with some other controller that doesn't provide that, then they
may need to implement their own register set, as Qualcomm has apparently
done.
