Wolfgang, "tftpport" is what he has done previously.

It is more appropriate and customary for "tftpport" to refer to the 
server port (i.e. reference to a port without a qualification of 
client/server, source/destination etc). This patch on the other hand is 
leaving the server port as is (well known port) and modifying the 
normally dynamic source (client) port to a fixed value via environment. 
I think, using "tftpport" would be a poor choice.

I will pledge for clarity over 6 more bytes in environment which most 
boards will not define anyway. If that is not reasonable, please allow 
for "tftpsrcport" or "tftpcport".

I actually want to provide a complimentary patch over this one to make 
the tftp server port configurable which the environment variable can be 
appropriately named as one of "tftpserverport", "tftpdestport" or 
"tftpsport". I also want to use the same CONFIG_TFTP_PORT variable to 
enable both environment variables unless you object in which case naming 
the config variables as CONFIG_TFTP_CLIENT_PORT and 
CONFIG_TFTP_SERVER_PORT is probably better.

Best regards,
Tolunay
