Indeed, that would be a choice.

The dev_pm_skip_resume() is used during system resume, not during suspend, so
there would be no race condition I suppose?

Yes, this is what I concerned previously. So in order to support this case,
let's adjust this by checking
	if (device_may_wakeup() && dev_pm_skip_suspend())

so that if the user has disabled WOL via sysfs then we do not fall
into this optimization

device wakeup is disabled")

Yes, I did some hack on this to make runtime suspend work.
As we do have more newer NICs to come, how about removing the
restriction of runtime suspend and let the user determine whether
to enable the runtime suspend via echo 'on' or 'auto' via
sysfs's control.
