Ioana Radulescu 8eb3cef8d2 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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
