[U-Boot] [PATCH] imx: missing CONFIG_NET after consolidation patches

commit fd3056337e6fcc140f400e11edd33f6f1cb37de1 "Use env callbacks for net variables" has a side effect on i.MX6 boards because they do not set CONFIG_NET: the ip address results not set, but it is stored in the environment.
=> pri ipaddr ipaddr=192.168.178.66 => ping 192.168.178.1 *** ERROR: `ipaddr' not set ping failed; host 192.168.178.1 is not alive
Setting CONFIG_NET solves this issue.

Apparently some of the boards that supported NET previously were not properly added to their defconfigs.
In any case, for this board, you should add the NET config to the defconfig, not the header.

Ah, yes! I was confused by Joe's comments regarding to CONFIG_NET being the cause of this.
My understanding is that since we already introduced CONFIG_NET, we should not have these network commands (ping, tftp) built in if CONFIG_NET is not there. Looks CONFIG_NET is only used in NET_CALLBACKS. Is CONFIG_NET really necessary here?

My understanding is that since we already introduced CONFIG_NET, we should not have these network commands (ping, tftp) built in if CONFIG_NET is not there.
I think you are thinking of CONFIG_CMD_NET... if it is not defined, then you will not have those commands. We are in a transitional period and all of the NET features vs. the commands are not using the new / appropriate configs yet. Many are not properly moved over to Kconfig. We'll get there, but this change to Kconfig is fairly incomplete.
Looks CONFIG_NET is only used in NET_CALLBACKS. Is CONFIG_NET really necessary here?
Yes... well either CONFIG_NET or CONFIG_CMD_NET. They should be basically equivalent.

Sorry, forgot Cc's on this. Here's the patch: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/478414/
Michal wants a subject change. I have a new version, but I think I'm gonna just push it to u-boot-net.git and send a pull request since the patches are so big.
Cheers, -Joe

This config was added to Kconfig here:
60296a8 commands: add more command entries in Kconfig
Looks CONFIG_NET was added by commit ed36323

kconfig: add blank Kconfig files

Apparently some of the boards that supported NET previously were not properly added to their defconfigs.
In any case, for this board, you should add the NET config to the defconfig, not the header.

But I failed to understand why adding CONFIG_NET could resolve the "*** ERROR: `ipaddr" not set' problem. A grep of "^CONFIG_NET" gives me nothing helpful.
Reason is the following commit:
commit fd3056337e6fcc140f400e11edd33f6f1cb37de1 Author: Joe Hershberger joe.hershberger@ni.com Date: Wed May 20 14:27:23 2015 -0500
net: Use env callbacks for net variables
if CONFIG_NET is not defined, NET_CALLBACKS is empty, which results in the above error message ...
Ah, yes! I was confused by Joe's comments regarding to CONFIG_NET being the cause of this.
My understanding is that since we already introduced CONFIG_NET, we should not have these network commands (ping, tftp) built in if CONFIG_NET is not there.
I think you are thinking of CONFIG_CMD_NET... if it is not defined, then you will not have those commands. We are in a transitional period and all of the NET features vs. the commands are not using the new / appropriate configs yet. Many are not properly moved over to Kconfig. We'll get there, but this change to Kconfig is fairly incomplete.
Looks CONFIG_NET is only used in NET_CALLBACKS. Is CONFIG_NET really necessary here?
Yes... well either CONFIG_NET or CONFIG_CMD_NET. They should be basically equivalent.
Any ideas on how to resolving this?
I will send a patch doing the same fix that Joe did on the qemu-x86 soon.
Regards, Bin

Hmm.. this seems missing for all imx boards ...

It seems that in ed36323f, Masahiro added the CONFIG_NET config to Kconfig, but most things depended on (and defined) CONFIG_CMD_NET, which he added to Kconfig in 60296a8. In both cases, none of the boards had either CONFIG_CMD_NET or CONFIG_NET moved to defconfigs. As a result most boards are lacking complete networking support except those that happen to have been touched for other reasons related to networking (such as the CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR patch).
This is made worse by the fact that I used CONFIG_NET (the one missing in far more boards) in the fd30563 commit.
I will work up a patch that addresses this and restores networking to all boards that formerly supported networking. Expect it tomorrow or so.
Cheers, -Joe
