this change seems to break the "normal" pxe boot from distroboot on
(at least one, but probably all) Rockchip board(s).

Up to u-boot 2025.01 distro-boot on Rockchip boards just worked
normally, the network came up, dhcp ran (and provided the tftp-server
address in my setup) and then "pxe" could retrieve the pxelinux.cfg/foo...
file.

Trying the same setup on 2025.04-rc5 does not work anymore, because
that dhcp is never run, before pxe tries to get its file.

Of course running the dhcp manually before handing over to distro-boot
works, but that needs human interaction. Similarly reverting that patch
also makes things works again ;-) .


So while EFI might be faster now, pxe from distroboot is broken and I'm
wondering, who is supposed to do the dhcp call now?
