I discussed it with Andrew earlier last year, and his response was: DT configuration of pause for fixed link probably is sufficient. I don't remember it ever been really discussed for DSA. It was a Melanox discussion about limiting pause for the CPU. So I think it is safe to not implement ethtool -A, at least until somebody has a real use case for it. So I chose not to support it - no point supporting features that people aren't using. If you have a "real use case" then it can be added.This patch may be sufficient - I haven't fully considered all the implications of changing this though.
Did you try this patch? What's the outcome?
