Add alias for the MCU CPSW2G port to enable Linux to fetch MAC Address

Could you explain *how* this alias allows Linux to fetch a MAC
address from U-Boot? Sounds like we are doing something hacky here..

Why can't Linux fetch the MAC from efuses the same way U-Boot does,
what happens if I don't use U-Boot to boot?
