The code in question here is in rtl_init_one():

    device_set_wakeup_enable(&pdev->dev, tp->features & RTL_FEATURE_WOL);

This enables wakeups regardless of current WOL settings, as long as
the hardware supports the WOL feature.
Should we remove this line? rtl8169_set_wol() looks like it will do
the right thing here if WOL is later enabled.
