[ Upstream commit 7c492a2530c1f05441da541307c2534230dfd59b ]
If the flow control settings have been changed, a subsequent FW reset may cause the ethernet link to toggle unnecessarily. This link toggle will increase the down time by a few seconds.
The problem is caused by bnxt_update_phy_setting() detecting a false mismatch in the flow control settings between the stored software settings and the current FW settings after the FW reset. This mismatch is caused by the AUTONEG bit added to link_info->req_flow_ctrl in an inconsistent way in bnxt_set_pauseparam() in autoneg mode. The AUTONEG bit should not be added to link_info->req_flow_ctrl.
