Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 11cbcfeaa79e5c76 ("net:
ethernet: ti: cpsw_ale: use regfields for number of Entries
and Policers").

This is causing the following warning on BeagleBone Black:

You are adding these entries only to ale_fields_cpsw_nu[], not
to ale_fields_cpsw[], while cpsw_ale_regfield_init() loops over
ALE_FIELDS_MAX entries, whether they are valid or not:

    static int cpsw_ale_regfield_init(struct cpsw_ale *ale)
    {
            const struct reg_field *reg_fields = ale->params.reg_fields;
            struct device *dev = ale->params.dev;
            struct regmap *regmap = ale->regmap;
            int i;

            for (i = 0; i < ALE_FIELDS_MAX; i++) {
                    ale->fields[i] = devm_regmap_field_alloc(dev, regmap,
                                                             reg_fields[i]);

                    [...]
            }

            return 0;
    }

I tried fixing this by skipping entries where all of .reg, .lsb,
and .msb are zero, but that doesn't work as that runs beyond the
end of ale_fields_cpsw[], thus operating on random data.
I think you do have to store the size of the array, instead of assuming
ALE_FIELDS_MAX entries everywhere.
