 support in phy drivers

Yes! This solution makes most sense, as Pause support is definitely on
the MAC side.

I thought this was not allowed because I was following instructions
from a stale copy of phy.txt -- I figured my copy was good because the
"last update" date at the top of the master file was the same. (It is
still 2008-04-08  -- see
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/networking/phy.txt)

Thank you very much for your swift response. This whole issue has been
very interesting to investigate. I'll take a look at Timur's cleanup
and respect that approach as I repair the older copy of kernel that I
am working with for this project.
