[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 10/17] efi_loader: use events for efi_net_receive

Thu Oct 5 14:36:00 UTC 2017


A timer event is defined. The timer handler cares for receiving new
packets.

efi_timer_check is called both in efi_net_transmit and efi_net_receive
to enable events during network communication.

Calling efi_timer_check in efi_net_get_status is implemented in a
separate patch.
