But the CPSW versions are different, and the offsets could be
determined that way, couldn't they?

The TRM for the DM814x does not even make the distinction among
CPSW_SS, CPSW_PORT, CPSW_CPDMA, and so on. Instead, it places all of
the registers into one space called CPSW_3G.

So I agree with Benoit. Placing all of the offsets into DT seems like
over-engineering to me, unless you know of TI's plans to release a new
SoC with the same CPSW version but different register offsets.

Thanks,
Richard
