As a general comment, I heartily welcome IPv6 support (even though I
suspect there is quite a lot to be done on it, if only configuration),
but I wonder how this fits in with the general line of not adding dead
code in U-Boot. Will we make an exception for IPv6 and accept this RFC
once it is officially submitted? Or do we collect small, reviewable
RFCs for various IPv6 aspects but apply them in one go? Or do we create
a branch or tree where IPv6 will get integrated step by step until
solid enough for mainline inclusion? Or was this decided already and I
missed it?

Amicalement,
