[U-Boot] Enabling E1000 driver support for P1_P2 Boards

[y bhanu]

So do you mean adding one "eth3addr" to ENV will do the job.

eth3addr    = 00:04:9F:01:08:23

I help to support the patch for this chip to U-boot.
It looks like most of the code is taken from Linux kernel.
Can you provide any references?

Thanks,
Mukund
