Subject: [PATCH 6/6] dpaa2-mac: remove a comment regarding pause settings

From: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@....com>

The pause settings are not actually lossy since the MC firmware was does
is to transform back these pause/asym-pause flags into rx/tx pause
enablement status. We are not losing information by this transformation,
thus remove the comment.
