[PATCH v2] net: phylink: add missing supported link modes for the fixed-link

[Wei Fang <wei.fang@nxp.com>]

Pause, Asym_Pause and Autoneg bits are not set when pl->supported is
initialized, so these link modes will not work for the fixed-link. This
leads to a TCP performance degradation issue observed on the i.MX943
platform.

The switch CPU port of i.MX943 is connected to an ENETC MAC, this link
is a fixed link and the link speed is 2.5Gbps. And one of the switch
user ports is the RGMII interface, and its link speed is 1Gbps. If the
flow-control of the fixed link is not enabled, we can easily observe
the iperf performance of TCP packets is very low. Because the inbound
rate on the CPU port is greater than the outbound rate on the user port,
the switch is prone to congestion, leading to the loss of some TCP
packets and requiring multiple retransmissions.

Solving this problem should be as simple as setting the Asym_Pause and
Pause bits. The reason why the Autoneg bit needs to be set is because
it was already set before the blame commit. Moreover, Russell provides
a very good explanation of why it needs to be set in the thread [1].
