This description is wrong. The format of registers 4 and 5 depends on
the media.

In twisted-pair ethernet, then:

ADVERTISE_PAUSE_ASYM / LPA_PAUSE_ASYM
ADVERTISE_PAUSE_CAP / LPA_PAUSE_CAP
ADVERTISE_100FULL / LPA_100FULL
ADVERTISE_100HALF / LPA_100HALF
ADVERTISE_10FULL / LPA_10FULL
ADVERTISE_10HALF / LPA_10HALF
ADVERTISE_CSMA

apply. In 1000base-X:

ADVERTISE_1000XPSE_ASYM / LPA_1000XPAUSE_ASYM
ADVERTISE_1000XPAUSE / LPA_1000XPAUSE
ADVERTISE_1000XHALF / LPA_1000XHALF
ADVERTISE_1000XFULL / LPA_1000XFULL

apply - these being bits 8, 7, 6, 5:

> +#define DP83869_LPA_1000FULL   BIT(5)

> +#define DP83869_LPA_PAUSE_ASYM BIT(8)
> +#define DP83869_LPA_LPACK      BIT(14)

so these are just reimplementing definitions we already have. Please
use the existing definitions. Even better, use mii_lpa_mod_linkmode_x()
and linkmode_adv_to_mii_adv_x() which we already have in your code.

Same likely goes for DP83869_BP_*

Thanks.
