[DistroKit] [PATCH] v7a: barebox: imx6: don't enable fastboot net by default

[Ahmad Fatoum]

The idea behind enabling the USB gadget by default was to allow
quick experimentation with only a USB connection by exposing both
fastboot and a ACM serial gadget.

However, Fastboot over UDP, isn't as useful:

  - the user first has to find out the IP address assigned to the board
  - getting a DHCP lease on every boot takes a bit of time
  - The shell is unusable until the DHCP request succeeds or times out.
    Ctrl+C can't be used as it's not called interactively

Therefore, disable Fastboot over UDP and leave only USB enabled by
default. User wishing to use Fastboot over UDP can just set

  nv.fastboot.net.autostart=1

manually to restore the old behavior.
