dpaa2-eth: Add pause frame support
Starting with firmware version MC10.18.0, we have support for L2 flow control. Asymmetrical configuration (Rx or Tx only) is supported, but not pause frame autonegotioation. Pause frame configuration is done via ethtool. By default, we start with flow control enabled on both Rx and Tx. Changes are propagated to hardware through firmware commands, using two flags (PAUSE, ASYM_PAUSE) to specify Rx and Tx pause configuration, as follows: PAUSE | ASYM_PAUSE | Rx pause | Tx pause ---------------------------------------- 0 | 0 | disabled | disabled 0 | 1 | disabled | enabled 1 | 0 | enabled | enabled 1 | 1 | enabled | disabled The hardware can automatically send pause frames when the number of buffers in the pool goes below a predefined threshold. Due to this, flow control is incompatible with Rx frame queue taildrop (both mechanisms target the case when processing of ingress frames can't keep up with the Rx rate; for large frames, the number of buffers in the pool may never get low enough to trigger pause frames as long as taildrop is enabled). So we set pause frame generation and Rx FQ taildrop as mutually exclusive.
