Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: qcom/emac: configure the external phy to allow pause frames

From: Timur Tabi <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2016 13:30:54 -0500

Pause frames are used to enable flow control.  A MAC can send and
receive pause frames in order to throttle traffic.  However, the PHY
must be configured to allow those frames to pass through.
