Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] net: phy: fix uninitalized WOL parameters in phy_ethtool_get_wol

phy_ethtool_get_wol is a helper to get current WOL settings from
a phy device. When using this helper on a PHY without .get_wol
callback, struct ethtool_wolinfo is never set-up correctly and
may contain misleading information about WOL status.

To fix this, always zero struct ethtool_wolinfo regardless of
.get_wol callback availability.

Changelog:
v1->v2:
- clear whole struct ethtool_wolinfo
- check for non-NULL phy_device
