ethernet flow control support

v.vacek

Is there possibility to switch on flow control on ethernet interface? Now is the ethernet PHY layer chip RTL8211E set after hw reset to default without flow control announcement. There is no activated control driver in the Linux kernel to set it. Thanks. Vaclav.

Or follow the commands below to have a hot fix:

It doesn't work. The stmmac driver uses kernel generic-phy driver for PHY layer chip /RTL8211E/ and this driver has flow control advertisement switched off.
