[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 0/5] fix NetConsole for CONFIG_DM_ETH

[Bernhard Nortmann]

With the introduction of driver model and accompanying changes,
outdated code in netconsole.c leads to compilation errors when both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 with DM_ETH. v2 adds some proper subsystem prefixes
on the commit messages, and enables a test case (sunxi board
configuration for Banana Pi/Pro) that combines CONFIG_DM_ETH and
CONFIG_NETCONSOLE.

I have tested the resulting code on my Banana Pi (sun7i / Allwinner
A20) and had a functional NetConsole again. I also backported
eth_is_active() and the netconsole.c changes to v2015.04, to make
sure they properly worked in case CONFIG_DM_ETH is absent
(v2015.04 predates the introduction of DM_ETH, and I'm lacking
other hardware to test CONFIG_NETCONSOLE with).

Regards, B. Nortmann

Changes in v2:
- add "net:" prefix to commit message
- add "net:" prefix to commit message
- add "net:" prefix to commit message
