This patch series adds support for NFSv1 and is more or less a rebased version of an older series.
During V1 there was a discussion if it really makes sense to bring more features into the network stack of U-Boot as it is just a bootloader. As TCP support landed I thought I might give this patch series another try.
So the real question is what use does this bring? TCP is useful because it can enable support for modern features like UEFI HTTP boot. What is the use of NFSc1? The Linux kernel is removing support for NFSv2 and according to wikipedia v1 was only ever used internally to Sun so I'm not sure what the wider use of this functionality would be?
