From: Petr Hodina <[email protected]> Gate the initr_net() INITCALL on CONFIG_NET_SKIP_BOOT_INIT at the call site in initcall_run_r(), so boards with no wired NIC can skip the boot-time probe and "Net:" banner without touching initr_net() itself.
Signed-off-by: Petr Hodina <[email protected]> --- initr_net() probes for Ethernet and prints a "Net:" banner when `NET` option is enabled, which is not relevant for boards that use USB gadgets for networking. Add CONFIG_NET_SKIP_BOOT_INIT to skip that boot-time probe. Later invocations still probe UCLASS_ETH normally.
