Move flow control register configuration from lan78xx_update_flowcontrol() into a new helper function lan78xx_configure_flowcontrol(). This separates hardware-specific programming from policy logic and simplifies the upcoming phylink integration. The values used in this initial version of lan78xx_configure_flowcontrol() are taken over as-is from the original implementation to avoid functional changes. While they may not be optimal for all USB and link speed combinations, they are known to work reliably. Optimization of pause time and thresholds based on runtime conditions can be done in a separate follow-up patch. The forward declaration of lan78xx_configure_flowcontrol() will also be removed later during the phylink conversion. Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel <o.rempel@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
