The first patch in the series for k3-am62a7-sk has two ports enabled by 
default, so there it's fine to add alias. Also, there are many other TI 
K3 platforms which have only one cpsw port enabled but still define 
aliases. So I guess to keep it consistent, we can decide to accept this. 
If future overlays are added, this will just mean reserving eth0 for 
cpsw port1 which is also fine. I am fine to move with accepting this series.
