Fix compile warnings for const correctness

2010-08-09T18:52:30+00:00

Commit 6e37b1a3a25004d3df5867de49fff6b3fc9c4f04 modifies several net calls
to take a (const char *) parameter instead of (char *), but in some cases
the modified functions call other functions taking (char *).  The end result
is warnings about discarding the const qualifier.

This patch fixes these other function signatures.

net: warn about spaces in device names

2010-07-12T07:14:28+00:00

Some commands operate on eth device names (like 'mii'), but those cannot
be passed on the command line as one argument.  So detect devices like
these and warn about them so someone will fix it.

net/eth.c: eth_mac_skip() is only needed when CONFIG_NET_MULTI is set

2010-06-21T05:13:18+00:00

Move it inside the #ifdef CONFIG_NET_MULTI to avoid

	eth.c:64: warning: 'eth_mac_skip' defined but not used

messages from a number of old, non-CONFIG_NET_MULTI boards.

ip/defrag: fix processing of last short fragment

2010-06-21T05:11:32+00:00

TFTP'ing a file of size 1747851 bytes with CONFIG_IP_DEFRAG and
CONFIG_TFTP_BLOCKSIZE set to 4096 fails with a timeout, because
the last fragment is not taken into account. This patch fixes
IP fragments having less than 8 bytes of payload.

Program net device MAC addresses after initializing

2010-05-03T21:52:49+00:00

Add a new function to the eth_device struct for programming a network
controller's hardware address.

After all network devices have been initialized and the proper MAC address
for each has been determined, make a device driver call to program the
address into the device.  Only device instances with valid unicast addresses
will be programmed.

./net/net.c - make Microsoft dns servers happy with random_port() numbers

2010-05-03T21:52:48+00:00

For some reason, (which I can't find any documentation on), if U-Boot
gives a port number higher than 17500 to a Microsoft DNS server, the
server will reply to port 17500, and U-Boot will ignore things (since
that isn't the port it asked the DNS server to reply to).

This fixes that by ensuring the random port number is less than 17500.

TFTP: allow for adjustable retransmission timout

2010-03-21T21:22:44+00:00

So far, TFTP negotiated a fixed retransmission timeout of 5 seconds.
In some cases (busy networks, slow TFTP servers) this caused very
slow transfers. A new environment variable "tftptimeout" allows to
set this timeout. Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
faster in networks with high packet loss rates or with unreliable
TFTP servers.

Make getenv_IPaddr() global

2010-01-17T19:14:47+00:00

There are boards out there that do not have network support in
U-Boot (CONFIG_CMD_NET not set), but they do so in Linux. This
makes it desirable to be able to port network configuration (like
the IP address) to the Linux kernel.

We should not make the passing of the IP configuration to Linux
dependent on U-Boot features / settings.

For this, make getenv_IPaddr() global. This fixes build error

u-boot/lib_xxx/board.c:360: undefined reference to `getenv_IPaddr'

on various architectures.
