Ulf Magnusson d713033d5c Kconfig: Use new preprocessor syntax for env. variables
With the new Kconfig preprocessor (described in
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/kbuild/
kconfig-macro-language.txt), the syntax for expanding environment
variables is $(FOO) rather than $FOO.

$(FOO) is a general preprocessor variable expansion, which falls back to
environment variables if the variable isn't set (like in Make). It can
also be used in prompts, 'comment's, etc.

The old syntax will probably be supported forever in Kconfiglib for
backwards compatibility, but might as well make it consistent now that
people might start using the preprocessor more.

LLDP Sample Application
#######################

Overview
********

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol sample application for Zephyr will enable
LLDP support and setup VLANs if needed.

The source code for this sample application can be found at:
:file:`samples/net/lldp`.

Requirements
************

- :ref:`networking_with_qemu`

Building and Running
********************

A good way to run this sample LLDP application is inside QEMU,
as described in :ref:`networking_with_qemu` or with embedded device like
FRDM-K64F. Note that LLDP is only supported for boards that have an ethernet
port.

Follow these steps to build the LLDP sample application:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/net/lldp
   :board: <board to use>
   :conf: prj.conf
   :goals: build

Setting up Linux Host
=====================

If you need VLAN support in your network, then the
:file:`samples/net/vlan/vlan-setup-linux.sh` provides a script that can be
executed on the Linux host. It creates two VLANs on the Linux host and creates
routes to Zephyr.
