It's not unusual for DHCP servers to take a couple hundred milliseconds
to respond to DHCP discover messages. One possible reason for the delay
can be that the server checks (typically using an ARP request) that the
IP it's about to hand out isn't in use yet. To make matters worse, some
servers may also queue up requests and process them sequentially, which
can cause excessively long delays if clients retry too fast.
Commit f59be6e850b3 ("net: BOOTP retry timeout improvements") shortened
the retry timeouts significantly, but the BOOTP/DHCP implementation in
U-Boot doesn't handle that well because it will ignore incoming replies
to earlier requests. In one particular setup this increases the time it
takes to obtain a DHCP lease from 630 ms to 8313 ms.
This commit attempts to fix this in two ways. First it increases the
initial retry timeout from 10 ms to 250 ms to give DHCP servers some
more time to respond. At the same time a cache of outstanding DHCP
request IDs is kept so that the implementation will know to continue
transactions even after a retransmission of the DISCOVER message. The
maximum retry timeout is also increased from 1 second to 2 seconds. An
ID cache of size 4 will keep DHCP requests around for 8 seconds (once
the maximum retry timeout has been reached) before dropping them. This
should give servers plenty of time to respond. If it ever turns out
that this isn't enough, the size of the cache can easily be increased.
With this commit the DHCP lease on the above-mentioned setup still takes
longer (1230 ms) than originally, but that's an acceptable compromise to
improve DHCP lease acquisition time for a broader range of setups.
To make it easier to benchmark DHCP in the future, this commit also adds
the time it took to obtain a lease to the final "DHCP client bound to
address x.x.x.x" message.

Currently, the BOOTP code sends out its initial request as soon as the
Ethernet driver indicates "link up". If this packet is lost or not
replied to for some reason, the code waits for a 1s timeout before
retrying. For some reason, such early packets are often lost on my
system, so this causes an annoying delay.
To optimize this, modify the BOOTP code to have very short timeouts for
the first packet transmitted, but gradually increase the timeout each
time a timeout occurs. This way, if the first packet is lost, the second
packet is transmitted quite quickly and hence the overall delay is low.
However, if there's still no response, we don't keep spewing out packets
at an insane speed.
It's arguably more correct to try and find out why the first packet is
lost. However, it seems to disappear inside my Ethenet chip; the TX chip
indicates no error during TX (not that it has much in the way of
reporting...), yet wireshark on the RX side doesn't see any packet.
FWIW, I'm using an ASIX USB Ethernet adapter. Perhaps "link up" is
reported too early or based on the wrong condition in HW, and we should
add some fixed extra delay into the driver. However, this would slow down
every link up event even if it ends up not being needed in some cases.
Having BOOTP retry quickly applies the fix/WAR to every possible
Ethernet device, and is quite simple to implement, so seems a better
solution.

Changes in lib/uuid.c to:
- uuid_str_to_bin()
- uuid_bin_to_str()
New parameter is added to specify input/output string format in listed functions
This change allows easy recognize which UUID type is or should be stored in given
string array. Binary data of UUID and GUID is always stored in big endian, only
string representations are different as follows.
String byte: 0 36
String char: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
string UUID: be be be be be
string GUID: le le le be be
This patch also updates functions calls and declarations in a whole code.

This patch adds support for networking in SPL. Some devices are
capable of loading SPL via network so it makes sense to load the
main U-Boot binary via network too. This patch tries to use
existing network code as much as possible. Unfortunately, it depends
on environment which in turn depends on other code so SPL size
is increased significantly. No effort was done to decouple network
code and environment so far.

Some DHCP servers (notably dnsmasq) always transmit DHCP Option 28,
Broadcast Address as specified in RFC 2132. Without this patch u-boot
displays the warning:
*** Unhandled DHCP Option in OFFER/ACK: 28
The patch suppresses the warning and ignores DHCP Option 28. There is
no environment variable to set the broadcast address into and if for
some reason u-boot needs the broadcast it can be calculated from
ipaddr and netmask.

Enforce millisecond semantics of the first argument to NetSetTimeout() --
the change is transparent for well-behaving boards (CFG_HZ == 1000 and
get_timer() countiing in milliseconds).
Rationale for this patch is to enable millisecond granularity for
network-related timeouts, which is needed for the upcoming automatic
software update feature.
Summary of changes:
- do not scale the first argument to NetSetTimeout() by CFG_HZ
- change timeout values used in the networking code to milliseconds
