RE: [PATCH 1/2] e100: power down PHY if WOL is not enabled

[Jiang Wang]

Hi Ben,

Do you mean the WOL is enabled but PHY is powered off somehow? That scenario should never happen. If WOL is enabled, there is no code to power off PHY.

Regards,

Jiang

Don't you need to cover the case where WOL is enabled while the interface is down?
