I just looked at the datasheet for the KSZ9021. It supports Pause and
ASym Pause. So i would expect these bits to be set. However, the FEC
MAC is unable to support Asym pause, it only supports Pause. So it is
the MAC drivers responsibility to clear Asym Pause.

        /* mask with MAC supported features */
	if (fep->quirks & FEC_QUIRK_HAS_GBIT) {
                phy_set_max_speed(phy_dev, 1000);
                phy_remove_link_mode(phy_dev,
                                     ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_1000baseT_Half_BIT);
#if !defined(CONFIG_M5272)
	phy_support_sym_pause(phy_dev);
#endif
        }
        else
                phy_set_max_speed(phy_dev, 100);

I think we just need to take this #if !defined out, so always
indicating that sym_pause is supported. And we want
phy_support_sym_pause() to clear the asym_pause bit, if set.
