Hi Anton,

RT5372 is supported in -HEAD:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2013-November/053372.html

If you want to give it a try, you can install FreeBSD -CURRENT using the
snapshots images which you can find here:
https://pub.allbsd.org/FreeBSD-snapshots/i386-i386/11.0-HEAD-r259869-JPSNAP/

Let me know if it works for you, thanks.
