Looking a bit at the code, I don't know how it's supposed to work.

This function seems broken:

static u16 smsc_crc(const u8 *buffer, size_t len, int filter)
{
        return bitrev16(crc16(0xFFFF, buffer, len)) << ((filter % 2) * 16);
}

It always returns 0 when filter is odd.

I imagine 2 things:
o It should return u32
o when multiple WAKE_<foo> flags are set,
  the code doesn't work properly.
