Currently U-Boot uses globally defined eth_* functions. This is
horribly unflexible. This patch replaces the global functions
with pointers from structs. We could also use CONFIG_NET_MULTI,
but this has other implications, though we should merge this
some day.
Also, U-Boot has no unique way to handle MAC addresses. Each and
every board and network driver uses it's own mechanism to set the
MAC address. There are several problems which I've for too often.
For example everything goes well if we boot from network, but when
we boot from flash U-Boot forgets to set the MAC address and the
linux network driver has none.
This patch adds [gs]et_mac_address to the eth_device struct and
handles it as follows:
- First try to get a valid MAC address from the EEPROM and set
'ethaddr' accordingly.
- If no valid MAC address is found in the EEPROM (or no EEPROM is
connected), we set the devices MAC address from 'ethaddr'
This is done in eth_initialize which is called on startup for
every board.
Add call to eth_halt() in net/net.c when called functions fail
after eth_init() has been called.

Fix bug in at91rm920 ethernet driver
* Patch by Richard Woodruff, 10 Jan 2005:
Update support for OMAP2420 (ARM11) and H4 board:
o clean up and add new types to H4 memory probe code.
o fix to work with internal boot.
o added PRCM config III operation.
o fix marginal flash timings.
o add revison ATAG usage.
o enable voltage scaling at power chip.
o fix compile error for i2c.
* Fix network problem (error when receiving multiple ARP packets)
Use U-boot's miiphy.h for PHY register names, rather than
introducing a new header file.
* Update pci_ids.h from linux-2.4.26
* Patch by Masami Komiya, 19 Apr 2004:
Fix problem cause by VLAN function on little endian architecture
without VLAN environment
- show PCI clock frequency on MPC8260 systems
- add FCC_PSMR_RMII flag for HiP7 processors
- in do_jffs2_fsload(), take load address from load_addr if not set
explicit, update load_addr otherwise
- replaced printf by putc/puts when no formatting is needed
(smaller code size, faster execution)
Added ARM Integrator AP, CP and Versatile PB926EJ-S Reference
Platform support.
* Patch by Masami Komiya, 08 Mar 2004:
Don't overwrite server IP address or boot file name
when the boot server does not return values
* Patch by listmember@orkun.us, 5 Mar 2004:
Removed compile time restriction on CFG_I2C_SPEED for DS1338 RTC
