[U-Boot-Users] Ethernet ports

We do this already, so you don;t need to change common code.  Inside
U-Boot we only use one ethernet port at a time, so what we do is if we
have multiple ethernet ports that we define the "active" device
through the "ethact" U-Boot environment variable.  Then the usual
environment variables like ipaddr are used for the ethernet commands.

Ah and I nearly forgot, the MACs have to be set through "ethaddr" and
"eth1addr" (,...)

For how to do this in the code you can look at the ocotea (4 ports) or
sequoia (2 ports) code.

Best wishes
