Re: [regression] Bug 217069 - Wake on Lan is broken on r8169 since 6.2

From the feedbacks, the WOL issue has been fixed, and I have submitted a fixed patch to ACPICA, which has been reviewing in last week (Rafael also looked into the fixed patch).

There are two kinds of issues in the bug, one is WOL failed in kexec reboot, another is WOL failed in cold reboot. The former one still exist after reverted patch(5c62d5aab8752e5ee7bfbe75ed6060db1c787f98),
so this issue is not caused by the reverted patch. The second is caused by the reverted patch, and has been fixed with my provided patch.

Please see:

Thanks.

I noticed a regression report in bugzilla.kernel.org. As many (most?)

An issue that looked like a network bug was now bisected and it turns
out it's cause by 5c62d5aab875 ("ACPICA: Events: Support fixed PCIe wake
event") which Huacai Chen provided. Could you take a look at the ticket
linked above?

Jianmin did get close to a proper fix a while ago
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217069#c46 ), but it
appears there wasn't any progress to fix this during the last week. Or
did I miss it?

This is kinda unsatisfying, as the culprit is now known for nearly four
weeks; especially as this is a issue that is present in 6.2 since it was
released and would have been possible to fix there and in mainline with
a simple revert. We even got close to one two weeks ago already
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217069#c49 ).

#sigh

I'd say we should revert this. Rafael, what's your opinion here?
