[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] Remove static network setup defaults from mx1ads_config

Greetings,
I have this pet peeve about including local network setup details in target config files. These details should not be hard coded in target config files. They should either be manually enterred at the u-boot command line prompt or obtained via bootp/dhcp. This patch removes local network settings from the mx1ads config file. Also, N.B., that you need to provide your own target unique MAC address (setenv ethaddr) because the MX1ADS board vendor did not provide one for you (shame on them : ). Again, it's a bad idea to hard code ethaddr in the default board config for many reasons. Meanwhile it's trivial to do `setenv ethaddr` and shoot yourself in the foot but then at least you're pulling the trigger yourself.
