Since commit 6911308d7d11 ("net: stmmac: convert to phylink-managed
Wake-on-Lan"), the MAC device gets its wakeup flag only when the MAC
handles Wake-on-LAN itself. When the PHY handles it, device_may_wakeup()
is false for the MAC, and rk_gmac_suspend() powers the GMAC down: its
clocks stop and phy-supply is released.

On Helios64 (RTL8211F, Wake-on-LAN in the PHY) the board then hangs on
the first or second suspend with a magic-packet wake.

You have not answered the question why is hangs? Given the current
description, this just sounds like a workaround, not a fix.
