distro bootcmd: enumerate PCI before network operations
The PCI bus must be enumerated before PCI devices, such as Ethernet devices, are known to U-Boot. Enhance the distro boot commands to perform PCI enumeration when needed. Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
