I'd guess this is something that many MAC drivers will need to do when
resuming if the PHY has lost power.

Maybe a better solution would be to integrate it into phylink_resume(),
when we know that the PHY has lost power - maybe the MAC driver can
tell phylink that detail, and be updated to use phylink_suspend() and
phylink_resume() ?

macb_set_wol() sets bp->wol's MACB_WOL_ENABLED flag depending on
whether WAKE_MAGIC is set in wolopts. No other wolopts are supported.
Generic code sets netdev->wol_enabled if set_wol() was successful and
wolopts is nonzero, indicating that WoL is enabled, and thus
phylink_stop() won't be called if WoL is enabled (similar to what
macb_suspend() is doing.)

Given that the macb MAC seems to be implementing WoL, it should call
phylink_suspend() with mac_wol=true.

Please can you look into this, thanks.
