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.

<title>dfu: Make the DFU_WRITE_ALT symbol available outside of DFU</title>

The DFU_WRITE_ALT symbol is used both directly and indirectly (via
UPDATE_COMMON) for EFI capsule updates (FIT or raw), but does not depend
on DFU itself. Move this symbol outside of "if DFU" to remove a Kconfig
dependency problem.

<title>dfu: Fix dfu_config_interfaces() for single interface DFU syntax</title>

<id>89911825a2d3bbd1bc5d41b977aa24fb5b10f49d</id>
<content type='text'>
As stated in DFU documentation [1], the device interface part might be
missing in dfu_alt_info:

    dfu_alt_info
        The DFU setting for the USB download gadget with a semicolon
        separated string of information on each alternate:
            dfu_alt_info="&lt;alt1&gt;;&lt;alt2&gt;;....;&lt;altN&gt;"
        When several devices are used, the format is:
            - &lt;interface&gt; &lt;dev&gt;'='alternate list (';' separated)

So in first case dfu_alt_info might look like something like this:

    dfu_alt_info="mmc 0=rawemmc raw 0 0x747c000 mmcpart 1;"

And in second case (when the interface is missing):

    dfu_alt_info="rawemmc raw 0 0x747c000 mmcpart 1;"

When the interface is not specified the 'dfu' command crashes when
called using 'dfu 0' or 'dfu list' syntax:

    =&gt; dfu list
    "Synchronous Abort" handler, esr 0x96000006, far 0x0

That's happening due to incorrect string handling in
dfu_config_interfaces(). In case when the interface is not specified in
dfu_alt_info it triggers this corner case:

    d = strsep(&amp;s, "=");  // now d contains s, and s is NULL
    if (!d)
        break;
    a = strsep(&amp;s, "&amp;");  // s is already NULL, so a is NULL too
    if (!a)               // corner case
        a = s;            // a is NULL now

which causes NULL pointer dereference later in this call, due to 'a'
being NULL:

    part = skip_spaces(part);

That's because as per strsep() behavior, when delimiter ("&amp;") is not
found, the token (a) becomes the entire string (s), and string (s)
becomes NULL. To fix that issue assign "a = d" instead of "a = s",
because at that point variable d actually contains previous s, which
should be used in this case.

Calling scsi_scan() results in all the block devices (and EFI block
devices) being destroyed and re-created. This breaks the EFI filesystem
drivers during capsule update.

Remove the call, since boards really should be calling scsi_scan()
themselves during board_init().

The third_arg for a dfu alt is read as an integer and is overloaded for
different supported backends. For ext4 and fat, this third_arg
represents the partition and forms the dev part string, which should
have its partition in hex. This commit fixes dfu ext4/fat usage for
devices with ten or more partitions.

bring this down to a single macro and use "$(PHASE_)" only.

This is extremely similar to the MMC backend, but there are some notable
differences.

Works with a DFU string like

    scsi 4=u-boot-bin part 11

Where "4" is the SCSI dev number (sequential LUN across all SCSI devices)
and "11" is the partition number.

Align with cmd_sf, and try to rely on DT for spi speed and mode,
and still fallback on spi_flash_probe() if it fails.

With the current scheme, spi_flash_probe() will be called
with CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED and CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE
with are set to 0 by default on DT platforms using DM_SPI_FLASH.

Like cmd_sf, keep the option to specify the speed and mode
from the dfu_alt_mode string, but rely on DT properties
if not specified.

Using CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED and CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE
makes the SPIFC controller on Amlogic Meson G12B &amp; SM1
hardware fail and is unable to recover until a system reboot.
