Luckily we don't need networking related code in SPL.
It might be required later on :)
It makes no sense. Load and start U-Boot if you need more fancy features. If you need even more complex ones (say, TCP/IP and Java support) then boot and OS.
I was thinking of a scenario where we have SPL being loaded over ethernet and the SPL stage then trying to load the 2nd stage using TFTP.
That would be way outside of how U-Boot is supposed to work: the assumption is that the SPL and U-Boot itself are present on-board anyway -- the rationale being that the board should be able to get to the U-Boot prompt with only the console attached.
