Vladimir Oltean 33cb0ff30c net: mscc: ocelot: don't let phylink re-enable TX PAUSE on the NPI port
Since commit b39648079d ("net: mscc: ocelot: disable flow control on
NPI interface"), flow control should be disabled on the DSA CPU port
when used in NPI mode.

However, the commit blamed in the Fixes: tag below broke this, because
it allowed felix_phylink_mac_link_up() to overwrite SYS_PAUSE_CFG_PAUSE_ENA
for the DSA CPU port.

This issue became noticeable since the device tree update from commit
8fcea7be57 ("arm64: dts: ls1028a: mark internal links between Felix
and ENETC as capable of flow control").

The solution is to check whether this is the currently configured NPI
port from ocelot_phylink_mac_link_up(), and to not modify the statically
disabled PAUSE frame transmission if it is.

When the port is configured for lossless mode as opposed to tail drop
mode, but the link partner (DSA master) doesn't observe the transmitted
PAUSE frames, the switch termination throughput is much worse, as can be
seen below.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
