None of the OMAPs have multiple IP instances, and as such the base-id is
an optional property. I have made this change to make sure we atleast
attempt to use the value if mentioned in DT and not hard-coding the
value to begin with (going by the optional property semantics). If and
when multiple instances get added and a secondary node doesn't add the
property, the node will not be registered with the core due to an
overlap failure. Here is the previous version [1] for reference.
