+ * lan78xx_configure_flowcontrol - Set MAC and FIFO flow control configuration
+ * @dev: pointer to the LAN78xx device structure
+ * @tx_pause: enable transmission of pause frames
+ * @rx_pause: enable reception of pause frames
+ *
+ * This function configures the LAN78xx flow control settings by writing
+ * to the FLOW and FCT_FLOW registers. The pause time is set to the
+ * maximum allowed value (65535 quanta). FIFO thresholds are selected
+ * based on USB speed.
+ *
+ * The Pause Time field is measured in units of 512-bit times (quanta):
+ * - At 1 Gbps: 1 quanta = 512 ns → max ~33.6 ms pause
+ * - At 100 Mbps: 1 quanta = 5.12 µs → max ~335 ms pause
+ * - At 10 Mbps: 1 quanta = 51.2 µs → max ~3.3 s pause
+ *
+ * Flow control thresholds (FCT_FLOW) are used to trigger pause/resume:
+ * - RXUSED is the number of bytes used in the RX FIFO
+ * - Flow is turned ON when RXUSED ≥ FLOW_ON threshold
+ * - Flow is turned OFF when RXUSED ≤ FLOW_OFF threshold
+ * - Both thresholds are encoded in units of 512 bytes (rounded up)
+ *
+ * Thresholds differ by USB speed because available USB bandwidth
+ * affects how fast packets can be drained from the RX FIFO:
+ * - USB 3.x (SuperSpeed):
+ * FLOW_ON = 9216 bytes → 18 units
+ * FLOW_OFF = 4096 bytes → 8 units
+ * - USB 2.0 (High-Speed):
+ * FLOW_ON = 8704 bytes → 17 units
+ * FLOW_OFF = 1024 bytes → 2 units
+ *
+ * Note: The FCT_FLOW register must be configured before enabling TX pause
+ * (i.e., before setting FLOW_CR_TX_FCEN_), as required by the hardware.
+ *
+ * Return: 0 on success or a negative error code on failure.

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.
