Sorry for the confusion. But I would like to clarify the I should use the
term of "WOL event status" rather than "WOL interrupt status".
For interrupt mode, clearing the "WOL interrupt status" register will auto
clear the "WOL event status".
For polling mode, the phy driver can manually clear the "WOL event status" by
setting 1 to "Clear WOL Status" bit.


I would like to rephase the commit message to make things clear:

After PHY received a magic packet, the PHY WOL event will be
triggered. At the same time, the "Magic Packet Match Detected" bit
is set. In order for the PHY WOL event to be triggered again, the
WOL event status of "Magic Packet Match Detected" bit needs to be
cleared. When the PHY is in polling mode, the WOL event status needs
to be manually cleared.

Ethtool settings will remain with WOL enabled after a S3/S4
suspend resume cycle as expected. Hence, the driver should
reconfigure the PHY settings to reenable/disable WOL
depending on the ethtool WOL settings in the MAC resume flow.
The PHY set_wol flow would clear the WOL event status.
