      r8169: disable WOL per default · 7edf6d31
      Heiner Kallweit authored
      Currently, if BIOS enables WOL in the chip, settings are inconsistent
      because the device isn't marked as wakeup-enabled (if not done
      explicitly via userspace tools). This causes issues with suspend/
      resume because mdio_bus_phy_may_suspend() checks whether device is
      wakeup-enabled. In detail MDIO bus access in phy_suspend() can fail
      because the MDIO bus is disabled.
      
      In the history of the driver we find two competing approaches:
      8f9d5138 "r8169: remember WOL preferences on driver load" prefers
      to preserve what the BIOS may have set, whilst bde135a6
      "r8169: only enable PCI wakeups when WOL is active" disabled PCI
      wakeup per default to work around a bug on one platform.
      
      Seems like nobody complained after the latter patch about non-working
      WOL, what makes me think that nobody uses WOL w/o configuring it
      explicitly.
      
      My opinion:
      Vast majority of users doesn't use WOL even if the BIOS enables it in
      the chip. And having WOL being active keeps the PHY(s) from powering
      down if being idle.
      If somebody needs WOL, he can enable it during boot, e.g. by
      configuring systemd.link/WakeOnLan.
      
      Therefore, to make WOL consistent again, disable it per default.
