TIDA-00560E1 : 16 bit LED driver fails LOAD successfully as a cape on Beaglebone Black

Hi Guys,

I am using a TI 16-bit LED driver TIDA-00560E1 cape attached to the BBB.
I am using kernel image:
root@beaglebone:/lib/firmware#  uname -a
Linux beaglebone 4.4.9-ti-r25 #1 SMP Thu May 5 23:08:13 UTC 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

The problem is the cape gets initialized on boot, but fails to be LOADED:
root@beaglebone:/lib/firmware# cat $SLOTS
 0: PF----  -1
 1: PF----  -1
 2: PF----  -1
 3: P-----  -1 16-CH LED DRIVER,00A0,Texas Instrument,TIDA-00560


The dmesg output is as follows:

    3.541199] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: slot #0: No cape found
[    3.585195] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: slot #1: No cape found

What can be the possible cause for this failure? Any suggestions please.
