In the past, we only had one network stack which was called NET. The
network features were enabled for the legacy (and then only) networking
stack since commit 22353fa6b585 ("bootstd: Add some default filesystems
and commands"). Then instead on relying on NET legacy stack for enabling
networking features, the dependencies were (mostly) changed to depend on
CMD_NET in commit a0c739c184ca ("boot: Create a common BOOT_DEFAULTS for
distro and bootstd"). Then a new stack (lwIP) appeared, then CMD_NET was
made available with this new stack in commit 98ad145db61a ("net: lwip:
add DHCP support and dhcp commmand") making the networking features
possible to enable and finally commit f1e978fd54d9 ("boot: Update tests
around network symbols in BOOT_DEFAULTS_CMDS") made it explicit that we
need *a* network stack to enable some networking features.
Align the bootstd documentation with what's actually implemented as
Kconfig dependencies. Note that BOOTSTD_DEFAULTS selects BOOT_DEFAULTS
which selects BOOT_DEFAULTS_CMDS which then selects network features.
The CMDLINE symbol needs to be enabled as well for BOOT_DEFAULTS to
select BOOT_DEFAULTS_CMDS, but I don't think we need to go that far into
explaining what's required to enable some commands.

Quentin Schulz <foss+uboot@0leil.net> says:
This migrates the net options away from the main Kconfig to net/Kconfig,
rename the current NET option to NET_LEGACY to really highlight what it
is and hopefully encourage more people to use lwIP, add a new NET
menuconfig (but keep NO_NET as an alias to NET=n for now) which then
allows us to replace all the "if legacy_stack || lwip_stack" checks with
"if net_support" which is easier to read and maintain.
The only doubt I have is wrt SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER which seems to be needed
for now even when no network is configured? Likely due to
include/net-common.h with PKTBUFSRX?
No change in behavior is intended. Only change in defconfig including
other defconfigs where NO_NET=y or NET is not set, in which case NO_NET
is not set or NET=y should be set in the top defconfig. Similar change
required for config fragments. See commit log in patch adding NET
menuconfig for details.
This was tested based on 70fd0c3bb7c2 ("x86: there is no
CONFIG_UBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB_12288"), from within the GitLab CI container
trini/u-boot-gitlab-ci-runner:noble-20251013-23Jan2026 and set up
similarly as in "build all platforms in a single job" GitLab CI job.

O=../build/u-boot/ ../u-boot.sh -b master^..b4/net-kconfig |& tee ../log.txt
I can't really decipher the log.txt, but there's no line starting with
+ which would be an error according to tools/buildman/builder.py help
text. Additionally, because I started the script with set -e set and
because buildman has an exit code != 0 when it fails to build a board,
and I have the summary printed (which is the second buildman call), I
believe it means all builds passed.
The summary is the following:
aarch64: (for 537/537 boards) all +0.0 rodata +0.0
uniphier_v8 : all +1 rodata +1
u-boot: add: 0/0, grow: 1/0 bytes: 1/0 (1)
function old new delta
data_gz 10640 10641 +1
arm: (for 733/733 boards) all -0.0 rodata -0.0
uniphier_v7 : all -1 rodata -1
u-boot: add: 0/0, grow: 0/-1 bytes: 0/-1 (-1)

u-boot: add: 0/0, grow: 0/-1 bytes: 0/-20 (-20)
function old new delta
data_gz 15783 15763 -20
As far as I could tell this data_gz is an automatically generated array
when CONFIG_CMD_CONFIG is enabled. It is the compressed .config stored
in binary form. Because I'm changing the name of symbols, replacing a
menu with a menuconfig, additional text makes it to .config and the
"# Networking" section in .config disappears.
Here is the diff for the 5 defconfigs listed above, generated with:
for f in build/*-m; do
diff --unified=0 $f/.config $(dirname $f)/$(basename -a -s '-m' $f)/.config
done
(-m is the build directory for master, and without the suffix, it's the
top commit of this series)

This is fine:
- Networking menu doesn't exist anymore so "#\n# Networking\n#\n" won't
be in .config anymore.
- opos6uldev, uniphier_ld4_sld8, uniphier_v7 and uniphier_v8 all have
(old) CONFIG_NET enabled, (new) CONFIG_NET will still be set but
CONFIG_NET_LEGACY also needs to be defined now to reflect the stack
choice (even if default),
- stemmy has CONFIG_NO_NET set, which means CONFIG_NET and
CONFIG_NET_LWIP are not reachable anymore hence why they don't need to
be part of .config,

Since the move to make NET a menuconfig and NO_NET a synonym of NET=n, when NET is enabled, NET_LEGACY || NET_LWIP is necessarily true, so let's simplify the various checks across the codebase. SPL_NET_LWIP doesn't exist but SPL_NET_LEGACY is an alias for SPL_NET so the proper symbol is still defined in SPL whenever needed.

Highlight that NET really is the legacy networking stack by renaming the option to NET_LEGACY. This requires us to add an SPL_NET_LEGACY alias to SPL_NET as otherwise CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(NET_LEGACY) will not work for SPL. The "depends on !NET_LWIP" for SPL_NET clearly highlights that it is using the legacy networking app so this seems fine to do. This also has the benefit of removing potential confusion on NET being a specific networking stack instead of "any" network stack.
