    gianfar: Implement PAUSE frame generation support · 45b679c9

    The hardware can automatically generate pause frames when the number
    of free buffers drops under a certain threshold, but in order to do this,
    the address of the last free buffer needs to be written to a specific
    register for each RX queue.
    
    This has to be done in 'gfar_clean_rx_ring' which is called for each
    RX queue. In order not to impact performance, by adding a register write
    for each incoming packet, this operation is done only when the PAUSE frame
    transmission is enabled.
    
    Whenever the link is readjusted, this capability is turned on or off.
