Patch to add CONFIG_IP_ACCEPT_UNSOLICITED_ARP to Kconfig. Currently we have
code in place to accept gratuitous arp replies, but the code is disabled by the
above config option, and there is no way to turn it on. This patch adds the
ability to turn this option on. Tested successfully by me.
Thanks & Regards
Neil
