Thanks for catching this.  The patch below will fix it.

[BNX2]: Fix ASYM PAUSE advertisement for remote PHY.

We were checking for the ASYM_PAUSE bit for 1000Base-X twice instead
checking for both the 1000Base-X bit and the 10/100/1000Base-T bit.
The purpose of the logic is to tell the firmware that ASYM_PAUSE is
set on either the Serdes or Copper interface.

Problem was discovered by Roel Kluin <12o3l@...cali.nl>
