But I could do it across the board if that is preferred.

Are there cases where (in-tree) drivers provide set_wol byt not get_wol?
If so, does this break their set_wol support?


My original thought was to match netlink set wol behavior. So
drivers that do that won't work with netlink set_wol right now. I'll
skim around to see if any drivers do this. But I would reckon this
should be a driver fix.

Thanks,

I see a driver at drivers/net/phy/microchip.c. But this is a phy driver
set_wol hook.

That part of the driver appears to be dead code. It attempts to pretend to
support Wake-on-LAN, but it does not do any specific programming of wake-up
filters, nor does it implement get_wol. It also does not make use of the
recently introduced PHY_ALWAYS_CALL_SUSPEND flag.

When it is time to determine whether to suspend the PHY or not, eventually
phy_suspend() will call phy_ethtool_get_wol(). Since no get_wol is
implemented, the wol.wolopts will remain zero, therefore we will just
suspend the PHY.

I suspect this was added to work around MAC drivers that may forcefully try
to suspend the PHY, but that should not even be possible these days.

I would just remove that logic from microchip.c entirely.

The Microchip developers are reasonably responsive. So we should Cc:
them.
