If the PHY only supports Pause, not Asym Pause, i wounder if we should fall back to Pause here?I wasn't sure about whether a silent fallback is the expected behavior. Also open is whether we can rely on a set_pause callback having called phy_validate_pause() before. Another option could be to change the return type to int and return an error like -EOPNOTSUPP if the requested mode isn't supported.
Most drivers call phy_validate_pause() first, this seems to be the expected pattern. Therefore I will remove patch 2. However there seems to be an error in phy_validate_pause(), the fix I will submit separately.
