f0171e7ea7 net: Remove CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
This option is not in use anywhere and the documentation implies it's
for some very old and unlikely to be seen currently issues.  Rather than
update the code so the CONFIG symbol could be easily in Kconfig, remove
the code.

c8e251f82a Adds basic support for ProxyDHCP
- ProxyDHCP allows a second DHCP server to exist alongside your main
  DHCP server and supply additional BOOTP related options
- When u-boot sends out a DHCP request, the real DHCP server will
  respond with a normal response containing the new client IP address
  while simultaneously the ProxyDHCP server will respond with a blank
  client IP address and a `bootfile` option
- This patch adds CONFIG_SERVERIP_FROM_PROXYDHCP (default false) to
  enable this behavior and CONFIG_SERVERIP_FROM_PROXYDHCP_DELAY_MS
  (default 100) which tells u-boot to wait additional time after
  receiving the main DHCP response to give the ProxyDHCP response time
  to arrive
- The PXE spec for ProxyDHCP is more complicated than the solution
  added here as diagramed on page 16:
  http://www.pix.net/software/pxeboot/archive/pxespec.pdf:

```
DHCP Discover will be retried four times. The four timeouts are 4, 8, 16
and 32 seconds respectively. If a DHCPOFFER is received without an Option
timeouts in an attempt to receive a PXE response.
```

- Adding a simple delay worked for my purposes but let me know if a
  more robust solution is required

bdce340cc6 net: Add option to prefer bootp/dhcp serverip
Currently we can choose between 2 different types of behavior for the
serverip variable:

  1) Always overwrite it with the DHCP server IP address (default)
  2) Ignore what the DHCP server says (CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP)

This patch adds a 3rd option:

  3) Use serverip from DHCP if no serverip is given
     (CONFIG_BOOTP_PREFER_SERVERIP)

With this new option, we can have the default case that a boot file gets
loaded from the DHCP provided TFTP server work while allowing users to
specify their own serverip variable to explicitly use a different tftp
server.

449312c1c0 net: Prefer command line arguments
We can call commands like dhcp and bootp without arguments or with
explicit command line arguments that really should tell the code where
to look for files instead.

Unfortunately, the current code simply overwrites command line arguments
in the dhcp case with dhcp values.

This patch allows the code to preserve the command line values if they
were set on the command line. That way the semantics are slightly more
intuitive.

The reason this patch does that by introducing a new variable is that we
can not rely on net_boot_file_name[0] being unset, as today it's
completely legal to call "dhcp" and afterwards run "tftp" and expect the
latter to repeat the same query as before. I would prefer not to break
that behavior in case anyone relies on it.

bc6fc28b86 net: Optionally use pxe client arch from variable
The client architecture that we pass to a dhcp server depends on the target
payload that we want to execute. An EFI binary has a different client arch
than a legacy binary or a u-boot binary.

So let's parameterize the pxe client arch field to allow an override via
the distro script, so that our efi boot path can tell the dhcp server that
it's actually an efi firmware.

20898ea934 distro: Add efi pxe boot code
Now that we can expose network functionality to EFI applications,
the logical next step is to load them via pxe to execute them as
well.

This patch adds the necessary bits to the distro script to automatically
load and execute EFI payloads. It identifies the dhcp client as a uEFI
capable PXE client, hoping the server returns a tftp path to a workable
EFI binary that we can then execute.

To enable boards that don't come with a working device tree preloaded,
this patch also adds support to load a device tree from the /dtb directory
on the remote tftp server.

50768f5b06 net: bootp: Add environment variable for timeout period
There is currently one config option (CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT) that
is available to tune the retries of the network stack.
Unfortunately, it is global to all protocols, and the value is
interpreted differently in all of them.

Add a new environment variable that directly sets the retry period for
BOOTP timeouts. If this new value is not set, the period is still derived
from the default number of retries, or from CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT if
defined. When both the new variable is set and CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
is defined, the variable has precedence.

44c42dd40e net: bootp: Ignore packets whose yiaddr is 0
When doing `dhcp`, there is a bad dhcp server in my network
which always reply dhcp request with yiaddr 0, which cause
uboot can not successfully get ipaddr from the good dhcp server.
But the Linux PC can get the ip address even if there is a bad
dhcp server. This patch is to fix that even if there is a bad
dhcp server, uboot can still get ipaddr and tftp work ok.

The way is to ignore the packets from the bad dhcp server by filtering
out the yiaddr whose value is 0.

92ac8acc01 net: More BOOTP retry timeout improvements
It's not unusual for DHCP servers to take a couple hundred milliseconds
to respond to DHCP discover messages. One possible reason for the delay
can be that the server checks (typically using an ARP request) that the
IP it's about to hand out isn't in use yet. To make matters worse, some
servers may also queue up requests and process them sequentially, which
can cause excessively long delays if clients retry too fast.

Commit f59be6e850 ("net: BOOTP retry timeout improvements") shortened
the retry timeouts significantly, but the BOOTP/DHCP implementation in
U-Boot doesn't handle that well because it will ignore incoming replies
to earlier requests. In one particular setup this increases the time it
takes to obtain a DHCP lease from 630 ms to 8313 ms.

This commit attempts to fix this in two ways. First it increases the
initial retry timeout from 10 ms to 250 ms to give DHCP servers some
more time to respond. At the same time a cache of outstanding DHCP
request IDs is kept so that the implementation will know to continue
transactions even after a retransmission of the DISCOVER message. The
maximum retry timeout is also increased from 1 second to 2 seconds. An
ID cache of size 4 will keep DHCP requests around for 8 seconds (once
the maximum retry timeout has been reached) before dropping them. This
should give servers plenty of time to respond. If it ever turns out
that this isn't enough, the size of the cache can easily be increased.

With this commit the DHCP lease on the above-mentioned setup still takes
longer (1230 ms) than originally, but that's an acceptable compromise to
improve DHCP lease acquisition time for a broader range of setups.

To make it easier to benchmark DHCP in the future, this commit also adds
the time it took to obtain a lease to the final "DHCP client bound to
address x.x.x.x" message.

f59be6e850 net: BOOTP retry timeout improvements
Currently, the BOOTP code sends out its initial request as soon as the
Ethernet driver indicates "link up". If this packet is lost or not
replied to for some reason, the code waits for a 1s timeout before
retrying. For some reason, such early packets are often lost on my
system, so this causes an annoying delay.

To optimize this, modify the BOOTP code to have very short timeouts for
the first packet transmitted, but gradually increase the timeout each
time a timeout occurs. This way, if the first packet is lost, the second
packet is transmitted quite quickly and hence the overall delay is low.
However, if there's still no response, we don't keep spewing out packets
at an insane speed.

It's arguably more correct to try and find out why the first packet is
lost. However, it seems to disappear inside my Ethenet chip; the TX chip
indicates no error during TX (not that it has much in the way of
reporting...), yet wireshark on the RX side doesn't see any packet.
FWIW, I'm using an ASIX USB Ethernet adapter. Perhaps "link up" is
reported too early or based on the wrong condition in HW, and we should
add some fixed extra delay into the driver. However, this would slow down
every link up event even if it ends up not being needed in some cases.
Having BOOTP retry quickly applies the fix/WAR to every possible
Ethernet device, and is quite simple to implement, so seems a better
solution.
