U-Boot has a number of network parameters like

While these can be defined in an "include/configs/<board>.h", it would be nice to be able to define this in a separate file since they are really not board specific.
I agree that these don't belong in the board config file. In fact, I don't see why they should be board-specific at all. The U-Boot code in denx.de should have a config.h somewhere that specifies these, but we should probably not encourage board maintainers to have their own versions.
If these network parameters really need default values, it's probably better to initialize environment variables using CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS, or something like that. I expect that almost every board that U-boot gets loaded on will have these values overwritten anyway to fit in whatever network it ends up in.
