Now CPSW, and Keystone 2 netcp in the future.

With this change It will not be required to add the same DT parsing code
in Keystone 2 netcp driver, so overall number of lines will be reduced.

As I mentioned in cover letter - this is preparation step and this series
 indented help and simplify CPTS integration with few TI net drivers
(now cpsw, soon KS2 netcp), because similar CPTS IP is integrated
in two different TI's SoC families (and might be in more the future).  

I've not posted KS2 patches here, because of two reasons:
- they are still under internal review
- I hate big patch series
