[U-Boot] [PATCH] Schedule removal of non-CONFIG_NET_MULTI net driver API

[Ben Warren]

This will make CONFIG_NET_MULTI the only net driver configuration and
we'll be able to remove this option.

 ---------------------------
 
+What:	CONFIG_NET_MULTI option
+When:	Release 2009-11
+
+Why:	U-boot currently implements two network driver APIs.  New drivers with
+	the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and
+	this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment. 
+
+	All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+	over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09).
+	In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+	is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+	will be removed, effectively making it the only API.  This should
+	provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on
+	all architectures to be made to work with weak functions.

Could we add a #warning somewhere to tell people who are not using
CONFIG_NET_MULTI that they need to move forward?

good idea and it will avoid people to have a error if they do not read the
removal or the ML when updating their patch for the mainline
