MMC distro boot has now been merged, so you could rebase.

Somehow I do not see replies to your previous suggestion in January,
where I thought Alex and others had commented on it (we did discuss that
somewhere...), and checking

git grep -C 1 "func(PXE" -- include/configs/

indeed all boards that do enable PXE have it before DHCP, although there
are quite a few that have DHCP only:

git grep -C 1 "func(DHCP" -- include/configs/

So I won't object to you adding it here, but my concerns about the
timeouts incurred by the per-byte config fallbacks still remain.

Regards,
Andreas
