It does do harm if you don't have a device structure to pass, if for
some reason you found the device by directly looking for it rather than
going through the device model.

fsl,magic-packet was a mistake. It is equivalent to checking the
compatible for etsec. It does not convey any information about whether
the eTSEC is still active in a given low power mode.

How is fsl,wake-os-filer relevant to this decision? When will it be set
but not fsl,magic-packet?

What about devices other than ethernet? What about differences between
ordinary sleep and deep sleep?
