The recently integrated IPv6 patch series relies on the link-local address, or a statically assigned IPv6 address for network operations. This patch series adds IPv6 address assignment through DHCPv6.
The implementation meets the requirements in RFC 8415 for "Client/Server Exchanges Involving Four Messages": https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8415
The implementation sends/receives the minimum required DHCPv6 options to network boot.
A new command (dhcp6) will execute the protocol. In addition, IPv6 functionality has been extended to the existing pxe commands ("pxe get" and "pxe boot").
changes in v2: - Add sandbox test in test_net.py - Add CONFIG_CMD_DHCP6 to sandbox_defconfig - fix comment style (/**/ instead of //) - move addition of Kconfig from 1st patch to 2nd patch - Fix warning (warning: label ‘error_exit’ defined but not used") when CONFIG_DHCP6_PXE_DHCP_OPTION not configured - Fix dhcp6 command help - Use net_set_timeout_handler(0, NULL) in dhcpv6.c - Move USE_IP6_CMD_PARAM back to net6.h
