Hi Shannon
I've no idea what the firmware black box is doing, but this looks
wrong.
pause->autoneg is about if the results of auto-neg should be used or
not. If false, just configure the MAC with the pause settings and you
are done. If the interface is being forced, so autoneg in general is
disabled, just configure the MAC and you are done.
If pause->autoneg is true and the interface is using auto-neg as a
whole, you pass the pause values to the PHY for it to advertise and
trigger an auto-neg. Once autoneg has completed, and the resolved
settings are available, the MAC is configured with the resolved
values.
Looking at this code, i don't see any difference between configuring
the MAC or configuring the PHY. I would expect pause->autoneg to be
part of requested_pause somehow, so the firmware knows what is should
do.
