The ksz9021 phy driver don't set Pause feature, then the phylib enable "SUPPORTED_Pause" and " SUPPORTED_Asym_Pause" in both.
Micrel.c:
.phy_id = PHY_ID_KSZ9021,
.phy_id_mask = 0x000ffffe,
.name = "Micrel KSZ9021 Gigabit PHY",
.features = PHY_GBIT_FEATURES,

From @LABBE Corentin debug, it seem ksz9021 cannot advertise Pause and Asym pause in both, otherwise it cannot link up.
From ksz9021 datasheet description as below, Symmetric & Asymmetric PAUSE is for local device, I don't understand its mean.
4.11:10 Pause
[0,0] = No PAUSE
[1,0] = Asymmetric PAUSE (link partner)
[0,1] = Symmetric PAUSE
[1,1] = Symmetric & Asymmetric PAUSE (local device)

@ LABBE Corentin, you can try this:
Micrel.c:
.phy_id = PHY_ID_KSZ9021,
.phy_id_mask = 0x000ffffe,
.name = "Micrel KSZ9021 Gigabit PHY",
.features = PHY_GBIT_FEATURES | SUPPORTED_Pause,


In fact, I test net tree without any change with AR8031 and there has no link problem.
