I booted MacchiatoBin doubleshot with DT (phy-mode set to "10gbase-r")
without your patch and the 3310 PHY is connected to 1G e1000 card.
After `ifconfig eth0 up` it properly drops to SGMII without any issue
in my setup:

# ifconfig eth0 up
[   62.006580] mvpp2 f2000000.ethernet eth0: PHY
[f212a600.mdio-mii:00] driver [mv88x3310] (irq=POLL)
[   62.016777] mvpp2 f2000000.ethernet eth0: configuring for phy/sgmii link mode
# [   66.110289] mvpp2 f2000000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full
- flow control rx/tx
[   66.118270] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1
# ping 192.168.1.2
PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.511 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.212 ms

Are you aware of the firmware version of the 3310 PHY in your setup?
In my case it's:
mv88x3310 f212a600.mdio-mii:00: Firmware version 0.3.3.0

Best regards,
