Improve the initial MAC configuration so we get a configuration which more represents the final operating mode, in particular with respect to the flow control settings. We do this by: 1) more fully initialising our phy state, so we can use this as the initial state for PHY based connections. 2) reading the fixed link state. 3) ensuring that in-band mode has sane pause settings for SGMII vs 802.3z negotiation modes. In all three cases, we ensure that state->link is false, just in case any MAC drivers have other ideas by mis-using this member, and we also take account of manual pause mode configuration at this point. This avoids MLO_PAUSE_AN being seen in mac_config() when operating in PHY, fixed mode or inband SGMII mode, thereby giving cleaner semantics to the pause flags. As a result of this, the pause flags now indicate in a mode-independent way what is required from a mac_config() implementation.

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.
