+/**
+ * linkmode_set_pause - set the pause mode advertisement
+ * @advertisement: advertisement in ethtool format
+ * @tx: boolean from ethtool struct ethtool_pauseparam tx_pause member
+ * @rx: boolean from ethtool struct ethtool_pauseparam rx_pause member
+ *
+ * Configure the advertised Pause and Asym_Pause bits according to the
+ * capabilities of provided in @tx and @rx.
+ *
+ * We convert as follows:
+ * tx rx Pause AsymDir
+ * 0 0 0 0
+ * 0 1 1 1
+ * 1 0 0 1
+ * 1 1 1 0
+ *
+ * Note: this translation from ethtool tx/rx notation to the advertisement
+ * is actually very problematical. Here are some examples:
+ *
+ * For tx=0 rx=1, meaning transmit is unsupported, receive is supported:
+ *
+ * Local device Link partner
+ * Pause AsymDir Pause AsymDir Result
+ * 1 1 1 0 TX + RX - but we have no TX support.
+ * 1 1 0 1 Only this gives RX only
+ *
+ * For tx=1 rx=1, meaning we have the capability to transmit and receive
+ * pause frames:
+ *
+ * Local device Link partner
+ * Pause AsymDir Pause AsymDir Result
+ * 1 0 0 1 Disabled - but since we do support tx and rx,
+ * this should resolve to RX only.
+ *
+ * Hence, asking for:
+ * rx=1 tx=0 gives Pause+AsymDir advertisement, but we may end up
+ * resolving to tx+rx pause or only rx pause depending on
+ * the partners advertisement.
+ * rx=0 tx=1 gives AsymDir only, which will only give tx pause if
+ * the partners advertisement allows it.
+ * rx=1 tx=1 gives Pause only, which will only allow tx+rx pause
+ * if the other end also advertises Pause.
