In switch mode on struct cpsw_slave->ndev field will be initialized with proper value only for the one cpsw slave port, as result cpsw_get_usage_count() will generate "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" exception when first ethernet interface is opening cpsw_ndo_open(). This issue causes boot regression on AM335x EVM and reproducible on am57xx-evm (switch mode). Fix it by adding additional check for !cpsw->slaves[i].ndev in cpsw_get_usage_count().
