Summary:                    patch:  allow suppression of default client-id
Description: 

if the "--clientid" option is not passed to udhcp, udhcp will create a
default client-id to pass to the server anyway.  neither U-Boot nor the
linux kernel pass a client-id in their dhcp requests.  this means that in
two common usage cases, usually involving tftp booting, or similar, the
system will claim, and use, two different IP addresses during the course
of booting:  one allocated to the bootrom and/or the kernel, and one
allocated to udhcp.

this patch differs from an earlier version sent to the mailing list in
that current behavior is now preserved -- an    explicit option now
suppresses the default client-id.
