[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH v2 00/11] IPv6 support

[Chris Packham]

This series adds basic IPv6 support to U-boot. It is a reboot of my
earlier work on this[1].

Most of this is ported from Allied Telesis' additions to u-boot[2].
(Note that I am employed by Allied Telesis[3]). The hard work was done
some time ago by Angga, I've cleaned it up and made some improvements
with the hope of getting it accepted upstream.

This is still very much a work in progress but it is functional. If anyone is
willing/able to test on some other hardware I'd appreciate some feedback.

If it's helpful for testing I'm keeping the 'ipv6' branch of
https://github.com/cpackham/u-boot.git up to date with these changes.

A few open issues

1) rxhand_f currently takes an struct in_addr. TFTP doesn't use this
(I haven't looked at other users). To support V6 this may need to be a
new union, a void * with some kind of flag or nothing if no rxhandler
actually cares. It has been suggested that this parameter be removed and
any users that care can re-parse the packet.

2) Unit tests. This code needs them. The testing so-far has been ad-hoc
manual testing using qemu-x86.

3) Fancy v6 feature xyz. There are a lot of things that _could_ be
implemented on top of this (DHCPV6 and SLAAC are two obvious things that
stick out). For now I want to concentrate on getting the core code
stable and accepted, if anyone else wants to work on either of those
features that'd be great.

      done in my personal time. Since I'm subscribed to the list using
      my gmail account I've signed using that.


Changes in v2:
- Split environment variables from main implementation
- remove "prefixlength6" environment variable. The prefix length is now
  set when specifying the address i.e. setenv ip6addr 2001:db8::1/64.
- split ping6 support into separate patch
- split environment variables into separate patch
- change ip6_ndisc_* to ndisc_*, fix CamelCase
- split ping6 support into it's own patch
