pause autoneg is not the same as link-wide autoneg. If link autoneg is disabled,
you have to keep track on how pause autoneg was configured by user, so that this

Will be fixed in v2 as suggested.

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.
