RE: [PATCH V2 net-next 2/3] lan78xx: add ethtool set & get pause functions

quoted

Add ethtool operations of set_pauseram and get_pauseparm.

+static void lan78xx_get_pause(struct net_device *net,

+{
+	struct lan78xx_net *dev = netdev_priv(net);

This is incorrect; you should always return the manual settings
(fc_request_control flags) here.  If autonegotiation is enabled then
your get_settings function will return the actual pause flags.

Ben, thanks for comments.
How about comment in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h?
It says 
** struct ethtool_pauseparam - Ethernet pause (flow control) parameters
...
* If @autoneg is non-zero, the MAC is configured to send and/or
* receive pause frames according to the result of autonegotiation.

Doesn't this mean get_pauseparam() returns pause settings based on 
Result of autonegotation? Not manual settings of rx_param & tx_param?
