Subject: [PATCH 2/2] efi/ip4_config: Improve check to detect literal IPv6

 addresses

The grub_efi_string_to_ip4_address() function wrongly assumes that an IPv6

address is an IPv4 address, because it doesn't take into account the case

of a caller passing an IPv6 address as a string.

This leads to the grub_efi_net_parse_address() function to fail and print

the following error message:

error: net/efi/net.c:785:unrecognised network address '2000:dead:beef:a::1'

Resolves: rhbz#1732765
