It doesn't work because the 'parent' node doesn't have the 'otg' registers.
It is the child node which has it. The device-tree nodes for parent and
child are:

	usbss0: usb at 4104000 {
							=> PARENT
		bootph-all;
		compatible = "ti,j721e-usb";
		reg = <0x00 0x4104000 0x00 0x100>;
		dma-coherent;

		[TRIMMED]

		usb0: usb at 6000000
{							=> CHILD
			bootph-all;
			compatible = "cdns,usb3";
			reg = <0x00 0x6000000 0x00 0x10000>,
			      <0x00 0x6010000 0x00 0x10000>,
			      <0x00 0x6020000 0x00 0x10000>;
			reg-names = "otg", "xhci",
"dev";			=> OTG Register is defined here

			[TRIMMED]
	};

The 'udevice' for the child node is created in the cdns3_bind() function
__after__ the function in this patch is invoked. Therefore, we don't yet
have the child device which is created by:

		device_bind_driver_to_node(parent, driver, name, node,
&dev);

I did consider the possibility of using the standard APIs
(devfdt_remap_addr_name), but since the child device doesn't exist yet,
they cannot be used. Hence, I had to implement custom logic.

Siddharth.
