No, we don't have this yet in U-Boot.

But that's a small problem - as long as we just need to parse for an
expression like "eth\d*addr" we can easily do this with ten lines of
C or so.

If we find we might need sscanf() more often, we might een go as far
and borrow some 200+ lines of code for Linux (i.e., from
"lib/vsprintf.c") :-)

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
