Subject: [PATCH v2] Revert "net: phy: marvell: avoid pause mode on
 SGMII-to-Copper for 88e151x"

This reverts commit 6623c0fba10ef45b64ca213ad5dec926f37fa9a0.

The original diagnosis was incorrect: it appears that the NIC had
PHY polling mode enabled, which meant that it overwrote the PHYs
advertisement register during negotiation.

v2: respun on top of net-next, but I've not yet been able to boot
 test this - which is unlikely to be for a while yet.

The extraneous whitespace change comes from the reversion of the
original patch - I added a "u32 pause" and blank line there.  The
patch converting to link modes removed the "u32 pause" but left
the blank line, causing a coding style issue.  It seems only right
that a reversion of the original commit fixes that too.
