you have to keep track on how pause autoneg was configured by user, so that this
can be re-applied when link aneg gets re-enabled.
The best way to have this correct is to use phylink, but for that you'd need to
have a proper PHY driver instead of using the mii_ API here.
phylink was discussed elsewhere.
