Though CPSW is a single IP in AM335X, CPSW has sub modules like CPDMA, ALE,
SLIVER, CPTS and SLAVES where is IP integrator can locate it at different
offsets. For example comparing the CPSW ip in TI814X and AM335X all the
above offsets are changed. So I have kept all these offsets in DT as driver
should not hold any SoC related informations

I have followed the naming convention as per the TRM which is mentioned as
Slave 0 and Slave 1 and its offset is from 0x4a100000. I have taken the
reference from  arch/arm/boot/dts/picoxcell-pc3x2.dtsi+167 and followed
the same naming convention from TRM. There is one more method to implement
in reference from arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q.dtsi+408 as below

+			cpsw_emac0: slave at 208 {
+				slave_reg_ofs = <0x208>;
+				sliver_reg_ofs = <0xd80>;
+				/* Filled in by U-Boot */
+				mac-address = [ 00 00 00 00 00 00 ];
+			};
