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.
- Convert the CPM2 based functionality to use new CONFIG_CPM2
option rather than a myriad of CONFIG_MPC8560-like variants.
Applies to MPC85xx and MPC8260 boards, includes stxgp3 and sbc8560.
Eliminates the CONFIG_MPC8560 option entirely. Distributes the
new CONFIG_CPM2 option to each 8260 board.
add SNTP support and expand time server and time offset fields of
DHCP support. See doc/README.SNTP

* Add support for TQM862L at 100/50 MHz
* Patch by Pantelis Antoniou, 02 Jun 2003:
major reconstruction of networking code;
add "ping" support (outgoing only!)
* Add support for LXT971 PHY on PM826
* Patch by Tord Andersson, 16 Jan 2003:
Fix flash sector count for TQM8xxL
* Fix I2C EEPROM problem on ICU862 board (would only write the first
16 bytes out of each 32 byte block)
Increase number of network RX buffers (PKTBUFSRX in
"include/net.h") for EEPRO100 based boards (especially SP8240)
which showed "Receiver is not ready" errors when U-Boot was
processing the receive buffers slower than the network controller
was filling them.
* Get rid of obsolete include/mpc74xx.h
