Add a couple of helpers to resolve negotiated flow control. Two helpers are provided: - linkmode_resolve_pause() which takes the link partner and local advertisements, and decodes whether we should enable TX or RX pause at the MAC. This is useful outside of phylib, e.g. in phylink. - phy_get_pause(), which returns the TX/RX enablement status for the current negotiation results of the PHY. This allows us to centralise the flow control resolution, rather than spreading it around.

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.
