In addition to this,

Vivek's comment is also right. :-)
A few minutes ago, I asked one of my USB S/W engineers.

USB3.0 PHY consists of two blocks such as 3.0 block and 2.0 block.
This USB3.0 PHY can support UTMI+ and PIPE3 interface for 3.0 block
and 2.0 block, respectively.

Conclusion:

   1) USB2.0 PHY: USB2.0 HOST, USB2.0 Device
                       Base address: 0x1213 0000

   2) USB3.0 PHY: USB3.0 DRD (3.0 HOST & 3.0 Device)
                       Base address: 0x1210 0000
                       2.0 block(UTMI+) & 3.0 block(PIPE3)
