Yes please.

Sorry, I should have been way more specific here, all ports support 
pause frames, however only a subset of the ports, those connected over 
RGMII require to program the reg_rgmii_ctrl offset with the advertised 
pause settings.

It is the latter, the hardware does not look at this RGMII register 
unless it is one of the 4 possible RGMII modes, MII, or reverse MII.
