* Add RTEMS libbsd static network config for motload nvram setBootConfigFromNVRAM() now configures static networking via the libbsd rtems_bsd_ifconfig() API when building against RTEMS with libbsd. It only uses static networking if it can find a configured IP and netmask from GEV or the mot script boot parameters, otherwise it falls back to DHCP. Also note, NTP was part of setBootConfigFromNVRAM() when using legacy RTEMS networking, but is handled outside this function for LibBSD. To preserve the legacy behavior, setBootConfigFromNVRAM() still pulls out NTP server info, but now stores it in an output parameter for outside code to use. * Wait for link to come up when starting RTEMS/libbsd/static IP When configuring a static IP on RTEMS/libbsd, we need to intentionally wait for the link to come up before continuing to configure ntp, etc. * Separate common network setup from BSP specific implementations All the BSP setBootConfigFromNVRAM() functions ultimately configured the RTEMS networking the same way. The common networking code has been pulled out into a separate function now called from BSP specific code. All networking setup is now included and optionally used only when the BSP sets the field appropriately. This lets the setBootConfigFromNVRAM functions be independent of the network stack, just focussing on collecting the configuration from each BSP as appropriate. * Fix unused function warnings for functions unused on certain BSPs * Remove old comments about if MY_BOOTP * Added release note entry -- Co-authored-by: Brendan Chandler <bchandler@anl.gov>
