Sorry, I still disagree with this.

You're trying to make phy_ethtool_get_wol() do two subtly different
things:
- Provide an implementation of ethtool_ops::get_wol, leaving the net
driver only to look up phy_device
- Provide a standalone function for executing ETHTOOL_GWOL on a
phy_device

You may notice that phy_suspend() already sets wol.cmd = ETHTOOL_GWOL.
So it seems to me like it's taking responsibility for initialising the
structure like ethtool_get_wol() does. The bug is then that
phy_suspend() doesn't clear the rest of the structure. That is not the
responsibility of phy_ethtool_get_wol().

Ben.
