The ICSSG Ethernet driver uses pruss_cfg_update() API. It is posted upstream in
the series [1]. The ethernet driver series is dependent on this series. In
series [1] we are using pruss_cfg_update() in icssg_config.c file,
icssg_config() API.

So for this, the API pruss_cfg_update() needs to be public.
