Is this chart correct?  I see drivers handle this differently.

nb8800_pause_config() has this:

	priv->pause_rx = phydev->pause;
	priv->pause_tx = phydev->pause ^ phydev->asym_pause;

But bcm_sf2_sw_adjust_link() does this:

	if (phydev->pause) {
		if (phydev->asym_pause)
			reg |= TX_PAUSE_EN;
		reg |= RX_PAUSE_EN;
	}

Which one is correct?
