The bit settings in the MII_ADVERTISE register should be:

1) RX and TX pause both requested

set only ADVERTISE_PAUSE_CAP

2) Only TX pause requested

set only ADVERTISE_PAUSE_ASYM

3) Only RX pause requested

set both ADVERTISE_PAUSE_CAP and ADVERTISE_PAUSE_ASYM

4) Neither TX nor RX pause requested

set nothing

(drivers/net/tg3.c:tg3_advert_flowctrl_1000t() is a good
reference point)

It would be easier to compare the VIA driver with the rest of
the world if it used the standard mii.h defines instead of
it's own private ones. That would be a good change to make at
some point.

Anyways, the correct fix is therefore something like:
