At present devices use a simple integer offset to record the device tree
node associated with the device. In preparation for supporting a live
device tree, which uses a node pointer instead, refactor existing code to
access this field through an inline function.

Some devices can take a long time to work out whether they have a new packet
or now. For example the ASIX USB Ethernet dongle can take 5 seconds to do
this, since it waits until it gets a new packet on the wire before allowing
the USB bulk read packet to be submitted.
At present with driver mode the Ethernet receive code reads 32 packets. This
can take a very long time if we must wait for all 32 packets. The old code
(before driver model) worked by reading a single set of packets from the USB
device, then processing all the packets with in. It would be nice to use
the same behaviour with driver model.
Add a flag to the receive method which indicates that the driver should try
to find a packet if available, by consulting the hardware. When the flag is
not set, it should just return any packet data it has already received. If
there is none, it should return -EAGAIN so that the loop will terminate.

This patch is simply clean-up to make the IPv4 type that is used match
what Linux uses. It also attempts to move all variables that are IP
addresses use good naming instead of CamelCase. No functional change.

The 'lo' interface on Linux doesn't support thinks like ARP or
link-layer access like we use to talk to a normal network interface.
A higher-level network API must be used to access localhost.
As written, this interface is limited to not supporting ICMP since the
API doesn't allow the socket to be opened for all IP traffic and be able
to receive at the same time. UDP is far more useful to test with, so it
was selected over ICMP. Ping won't work, but things like TFTP should
work.

Implement a bridge between U-Boot's network stack and Linux's raw packet
API allowing the sandbox to send and receive packets using the host
machine's network interface.
This raw Ethernet API requires elevated privileges. You can either run
as root, or you can add the capability needed like so:
sudo /sbin/setcap "CAP_NET_RAW+ep" /path/to/u-boot
