[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH 0/3] fix netconsole for CONFIG_DM_ETH

[Bernhard Nortmann]

With the introduction of driver model and accompanying changes,
outdated code in netconsole leads to compilation errors when both
CONFIG_NETCONSOLE and CONFIG_DM_ETH are set.

This is a series of patches to fix these issues and get netconsole
working again. I have deliberately marked it "RFC" since I'm not
entirely sure of what I'm doing here... Especially the bootm.c
change (patch 3/3) probably needs review or improvement by someone
more knowledgable on U-Boot networking / driver model.

Nevertheless I have tested the resulting code on my Banana Pi
(sun7i / Allwinner A20) and had a functional netconsole again.
I've also backported eth_is_active() and netconsole.c to
v2015.04 to make sure they properly worked in case CONFIG_DM_ETH
is absent.

Regards, B. Nortmann


Bernhard Nortmann (3):
  expose eth_is_active() function to test network device state
  fix netconsole when CONFIG_DM_ETH is set
  avoid eth_unregister() call when function is unavailable
