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?

Hi,

Didn't tried it yet, its in my TODO list.

Regards,
Stefan.
