What about the configuration of the pause? I notice the mac_link_up()
method ignores tx_pause/rx_pause, and instead just does this:

        /* Flow control for the PHY facing ports:
         * Use a zero delay pause frame when pause condition is left
         * Obey pause control frames
         * When generating pause frames, use 0xff as pause value
         */
        vsc73xx_write(vsc, VSC73XX_BLOCK_MAC, port, VSC73XX_FCCONF,
                      VSC73XX_FCCONF_ZERO_PAUSE_EN |
                      VSC73XX_FCCONF_FLOW_CTRL_OBEY |
                      0xff);

which suggests only symmetric pause is supported by the driver _and_
it is always enabled irrespective of what was negotiated.

I think this needs to be fixed first, before changing the capabilities.
