The congestion mode (CM) of the RX BD rings is only configured in the
phylink .mac_link_up() callback enetc_pl_mac_link_up(), where the
ENETC_RBMR_CM bit is set when tx_pause is enabled. This callback is
only invoked when the link status changes.
However, enetc_reconfigure() tears down and re-creates the RX BD rings
at runtime without any link status change, for example when attaching
or detaching an XDP program, or when enabling/disabling PTP RX hardware
timestamping. During ring reconfiguration, enetc_setup_rxbdr() rebuilds
the RBMR register starting from zero, which clears the ENETC_RBMR_CM
bit. Because the link status remains unchanged, enetc_pl_mac_link_up()
is not called again, so the CM bit is never restored.
As a result, the ENETC MAC can no longer generate PAUSE frames when
congestion occurs at the ingress direction, and flow control stops
working after such a reconfiguration.
Track the desired CM state in a software flag ENETC_RXBDR_CM. Set or
clear the flag in enetc_pl_mac_link_up() according to tx_pause, and
clear it in enetc_pl_mac_link_down(). When the RX BD rings are
(re)configured, enetc_setup_rxbdr() consults this flag and restores
the ENETC_RBMR_CM bit accordingly, so flow control survives ring
reconfiguration even when the link status does not change.

ENETC v4 has the same problem as ENETC v1: the RX BD ring congestion
mode (CM) is only configured in the phylink .mac_link_up() callback,
so it is cleared when enetc_reconfigure() rebuilds the RX BD rings at
runtime (for example when enabling or disabling PTP RX hardware
timestamping) without a link status change, and it is never restored.
As a result, the MAC can no longer generate PAUSE frames on ingress
congestion and flow control stops working.
Fix it in the same way as ENETC v1, by tracking the desired CM state in
the software flag ENETC_RXBDR_CM. Set or clear the flag in
enetc4_set_tx_pause() according to tx_pause, and clear it in
enetc4_pl_mac_link_down(). enetc_setup_rxbdr() already restores the CM
bit from this flag when the RX BD rings are (re)configured.
