[U-Boot-Users] [RFC][PATCH 1/1] Add board_eth_init() function

I would prefer to move this init code not into the board code but into the 
platform/cpu code. Speaking for PPC4xx, here all configuration I know of have 
the same init code. And copying this into all board ports instead on one 
place in the cpu directory seems "imperfect".

Using a weak definition for this board_eth_init() would make this possible. 
The cpu code would define the function with the default 4xx init code, and 
the board code could overwrite it. But unfortunately you already introduced 
such a weak reference to this function in eth.c.

How can this be handled better? Any ideas?

Best regards,
Stefan
