e100: Laptop battery drain and WoL settings from EEPROM

Hello,
there is long-standing problem with battery drain after turning off at least
some Toshiba laptops, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/110784

I have the same problem with Toshiba Portege R100. When I shut it down in
Linux, the battery is drained to zero in a couple of days. I noticed that the
LAN port is still active, even when AC disconnected.

The WoL is enabled by default by e100 driver:

# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
Supported pause frame use: No
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half
Link partner advertised pause frame use: No
Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: No
Speed: 10Mb/s
Duplex: Half
Port: MII
PHYAD: 1
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: g
Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
drv probe link
Link detected: yes

By this code:
/* Wol magic packet can be enabled from eeprom */
if ((nic->mac >= mac_82558_D101_A4) &&
(nic->eeprom[eeprom_id] & eeprom_id_wol)) {
nic->flags |= wol_magic;
device_set_wakeup_enable(&pdev->dev, true);
}

because the WoL bit is set in EEPROM ID word:

# ethtool -e eth0
Offset Values
------ ------
0x0000: xx xx xx xx xx xx 03 1b 00 00 01 02 01 47 00 00
0x0010: 00 00 00 00 a2 49 01 00 79 11 7f 00 00 00 00 00
^^ bit 5 here

0x0030: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0x0040: 00 00 00 00 00 00 3d 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0x0050: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0x0060: e4 00 3f 40 09 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0x0070: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f7 fe

Looks like this laptop is probably WoL-capable even on battery.

Measured the current from AC adapter:
around 20mA with WoL inactive (shut down from Windows or by power button in GRUB)
around 40mA with WoL active (shut down from Linux)

So to work-around this problem, users must disable WoL manually on each boot.

Maybe the driver should ignore the EEPROM WoL bit on Toshiba susbsystem IDs?
Or completely, like Windows driver does?
