[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] Restore CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVER option

[Wilson Callan]

ah, you are correct.  it looks like i added it back in my 1.1.4 port  
and missed that fact when porting to 1.1.6.  So this is a submit for  
a new option then.  I hope others find it useful.  It fits in well  
with the existing serverip environment variable.

CHANGELOG:

Added CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVER to allow the tftp server to be different  
from the bootp server
