Would you please take this bugfix for 3.7-rc2? The suggestion to mail
you came from Toni Lindgren. The context where it came from is here:

This patch appears to add a new feature, correct?  I don't think the CPSW 
could have worked in the past without this data present.  So it looks to 
me like this is 3.8 material, unless Tony would like it to go in sooner?

Yeah unless it fixes something, we should just queue it for v3.8 merge
window.

So there has been this cpsw driver since v3.4-rc1~177^2~5

  df82859 netdev: driver: ethernet: Add TI CPSW driver

and four people signed off on it, so it must have been working at one
point. Since the device tree make-over, the driver is a derelict, and
thus the present patch is fixing a regression.

Have a look at the tscadc driver for am335x that has had a few rounds of review. That one lacks DT bindings, so it can't be tested on this DT only platform. That a driver has been accepted in mainline does not mean it works, for am335x it just means that it compiles.

The patches I needed to get cpsw to work on beaglebone: https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel/tree/3.7/patches/cpsw
