And it appears none of these are documented in a binding documentation.

There i disagree. Xilinx should make their tools follow the Linux
standards, not do something proprietary. And the driver can be made to
do the right thing. At the moment, it only seems to be using:

ll_temac_main.c:    p = (__be32 *)of_get_property(op->dev.of_node, "xlnx,txcsum", NULL);
ll_temac_main.c:    p = (__be32 *)of_get_property(op->dev.of_node, "xlnx,rxcsum", NULL);
xilinx_axienet_main.c:	ret = of_property_read_u32(pdev->dev.of_node, "xlnx,txcsum", &value);
xilinx_axienet_main.c:	ret = of_property_read_u32(pdev->dev.of_node, "xlnx,rxcsum", &value);
xilinx_axienet_main.c:	of_property_read_u32(pdev->dev.of_node, "xlnx,rxmem", &lp->rxmem);
xilinx_axienet_main.c:	of_property_read_u32(pdev->dev.of_node, "xlnx,phy-type", &lp->phy_type);
xilinx_emaclite.c:	lp->tx_ping_pong = get_bool(ofdev, "xlnx,tx-ping-pong");
xilinx_emaclite.c:	lp->rx_ping_pong = get_bool(ofdev, "xlnx,rx-ping-pong");

So the only property which is currently wrong is xlnx,phy-type. As you
said, all the others are garbage. So i would suggest something like:
