[PATCH v2] cmd: net: add a 'net list' command to list network devs

In a system with multiple network controllers it can be difficult to know the names of the various devices available. This is especially true for USB ether devices as they do not display device names upon detection.
This is being added as a net sub-system in case other commands may want to be added or moved here.
Example: U-Boot > net net - NET sub-system
Usage: net list - list available devices
U-Boot > net list eth0 : ethernet@2188000 00:d0:12:98:f5:47 active eth1 : e1000#0 00:d0:12:98:f5:48 eth2 : asix_eth 8c:ae:4c:f5:84:9d eth3 : asix_eth 8c:ae:4c:f9:41:e3

Applied to u-boot-net/master, thanks!

Hi Tim. The patch fails build in several boards (Malta variants):
+cmd/net.c: In function 'do_net_list': 42+cmd/net.c:487:34: error: initialization of 'const struct udevice *' from incompatible pointer type 'struct eth_device *' [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] 43+ 487 | const struct udevice *current = eth_get_dev(); 44+ | ^~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks, Ramon.

Ramon,
Looks like my patch only works for DM_ETH. If I were to implement this for legacy eth it would probably be a mess as the device list is a static struct in net/eth_legacy.c. I'm not sure how to tell how many boards are out there that are not yet converted to DM_ETH and am not sure when legacy eth goes away. How about if I just add #ifdef CONFIG_DM_ETH around the whole thing and it isn't supported for legacy eth?
Best Regards,
Tim

Sounds good to me.
