Yeah but the question is broader, we have hundreds of smartphones with their own SOC that does not have ethernet built-in.

I know u-boot can be configured to add an USB ethernet dongle with Asix, although this feature is super obscure and undocumented.

The big question is how to add more devices which are not ready for netbooting?

We already support devices that have no ethernet. Typically they depend on bootloader features like USB gadget mass storage, or custom scripts that can load images over USB.
