[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH] ramips: Improve stability of the mt7621 switch

The switch on the mt7621 soc seems to sometimes struggle with Ethernet
pause frames. If a pause frame is received at the incorrect time, the
switch will for some reason hang and no data can be sent. Most of the
time, a router has to be rebooted before the switch will work again,
while sometimes the switch recovers by itself. I am able to reliably
trigger this error on the ZBT WG2926 and 3526 by saturating the
router/switch with small (<100B) packets, or by spamming the router with
pause frames while sending traffic. The error message looks something
like this (and will in most cases loop over and over):
[10203960.260000] mtk_soc_eth 1e100000.ethernet eth0: transmit timed out
[10203960.260000] mtk_soc_eth 1e100000.ethernet eth0: dma_cfg:80000065
[10203960.270000] mtk_soc_eth 1e100000.ethernet eth0: tx_ring=0,
base=0ef10000, max=512, ctx=118, dtx=118, fdx=117, next=118
[10203960.280000] mtk_soc_eth 1e100000.ethernet eth0: rx_ring=0,
base=0ef12000, max=512, calc=380, drx=381
This commit works around the issue by not advertising pause frame
support during auto negotiation. However, I have found at least one
switch which sends pause frames anyway. In case a pause frame is sent
and triggers the error, we reset all ports on the switch. This also
makes the switch work properly again.
Without this change, my routers would crash within 15 minutes when
testing. With the change, the same test has been running for three days
without any problems. Disabling pause frames is maybe not ideal, but
since this error only happens when the router/switch is completely
swamped, then users/protocols/applications should not notice a
difference. It might even be better to drop packets right away, than to
buffer them for a given time.
