This doesn't look right, AFAICS with this patch, the resulting WoL flags
would not depend on current values at all, i.e. it would certainly break
non-absolute commands like

ethtool -s eth0 wol +g
ethtool -s eth0 wol -u+g
ethtool -s etho wol 32/34

How recent was the kernel where you encountered the issue? I suspect the
issue might be related to recent 108a36d07c01 ("ethtool: Fix mod state
of verbose no_mask bitset"), I'll look into it closer.
