I was planning to for the Broadcom drivers since those I can test. But I 
could do it across the board if that is preferred.

My original thought was to match netlink set wol behavior. So drivers 
that do that won't work with netlink set_wol right now. I'll skim around 
to see if any drivers do this. But I would reckon this should be a 
driver fix.
