Hi Andrew,

Yes, the PHY is doing the WoL. And I guess this makes sense as it allows 
the MAC to power down during suspend to save power.

The INTN pin of QCA8081 is connected to the ETH_0_INT_N of QPS615. And 
the INTN_WOL pin is connected to a SoC GPIO.

Without this change, I can't get WoL to work. I have a working branch 
for our board here:
