[U-Boot] DHCP command

I'm very confused by this
isn't it more reasonable to separate the getting of an ip address for our interface from the downloading of an image by TFTP?
after all one can always go hp;TFTP or DHCP && TFTP
just puzzled....
maybe I'm looking for a separate command that just gets an address... call it dodhcp or dhcpget or summat?

It is reasonable, and trivial to do.

I don't know what you're looking for, but it is pretty clear that you are NOT looking into the documentation. Obviously you manage to ignore both the README and the manual.
I'm tempted to offer you a commercial support contract instead answering your questions here for free.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
