In my case I always see the value of advertising is 0x02ff, while that of
supported is 0x62ff. The Cadence MAC I use does not support flow
control, so maybe the advertising value is stripped of that.
If I do not do anything flow control will not be enabled for the ports.
A device connected at 1000 Mbit and another connected at 100 Mbit
will have dropped packet issue if the switch does not do anything else
to regulate traffic.
For other switches that do not really support Asymmetric Pause it
has to be explicitly removed.

These variables are used internally. link_up is an indication of the link;
link_down means the link is just dropped. It is used for MIB counter
reading. When the link is down most of the MIB counters will not be
updated, so it is a waste of time to read them. They still are read at
least one more time to pick up any updated counters.
