[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] dhcp vendor fields - support opt bootfile, ignore tftp server

This patch adds support for the dhcp vendor optional bootfile (#67). It also ignores the vendor tftp server name option (#66). Both of these are supplied by the DEC Tru64 Unix dhcp server (called "join"), and in the case of the bootfile, it is the only place the boot file name is supplied. There is a perfectly good, 128 byte, field in the main bootp/dhcp packet where the boot file name could have been stored, but it wasn't used - go figure. Cheers! Murray...

Applied, thanks. But please provide a proper CHANGELOG entry next time.
