simplify NET_LEGACY || NET_LWIP condition with NET condition

2026-04-27T17:26:40Z

Since the move to make NET a menuconfig and NO_NET a synonym of NET=n, when NET is enabled, NET_LEGACY || NET_LWIP is necessarily true, so let's simplify the various checks across the codebase. SPL_NET_LWIP doesn't exist but SPL_NET_LEGACY is an alias for SPL_NET so the proper symbol is still defined in SPL whenever needed.

rename NET to NET_LEGACY

2026-04-27T17:26:40Z

Highlight that NET really is the legacy networking stack by renaming the option to NET_LEGACY. This requires us to add an SPL_NET_LEGACY alias to SPL_NET as otherwise CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(NET_LEGACY) will not work for SPL. The "depends on !NET_LWIP" for SPL_NET clearly highlights that it is using the legacy networking app so this seems fine to do. This also has the benefit of removing potential confusion on NET being a specific networking stack instead of "any" network stack.

doc: usage: Add general rule for `$?`

2025-10-26T15:03:35Z

For nearly all commands in U-Boot the '?' variable is handled the same way with 0 meaning success, 1 meaning any failure. Explain this in the general rules section of the cmdline documentation (with a link to a counter example) and then remove the redundant wording from most commands. We retain a section about the return value in a number of places where we are doing something such as always returning a specific value or we have useful additional information to go along with the normal return codes.
