I was planning to for the Broadcom drivers since those I can test.
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
quoted

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.

set_wol in drivers/net/phy/microchip.c is used to set the flag
to avoid PHY power down at suspend time.
Looks it is old-fashioned now because frame work is not calling suspend
after calling get_wol. We will make a patch for it.

BTW, this patch is checking MAC driver set_wol and get_wol.
So I don't think it breaks drivers/net/phy/microchip.c suspend operation anyway.

Thanks.
