The driver was originally built without UCLASS_MISC, but

commit 38922b1f4acc ("net: ti: am65-cpsw: Add support for multi port independent MAC mode")

Added UCLASS_MISC and states there that 
" Since top level driver is now UCLASS_MISC, board files would need to
  instantiate this driver explicitly."

Not an elegant solution. So we need to fix something in the am65-cpuss driver.

Looking at drivers/net/mvpp2.c we can see a possible solution.
1) don't define .probe for the parent driver (UCLASS_MISC). Instead define .bind
that will scan the device tree for ports and bind the port device and driver.
e.g. see mvpp2_base_bind()
2) in port driver .probe (UCLASS_ETH), if parent has not been probed
then call the parent probe (am65_cpsw_probe_nuss) . Also set a flag so parent probe
only gets called once.
3) update all board files no not explicitly probe the am65-cpsw UCLASS_MISC driver.

Siddharth / Vignesh do you see any issues with this solution?

That is strange. am65_cpsw_probe_nuss() should be called at least for
port 0 since it is defined as UCLASS_ETH.
