I wonder if we should not set a flag in the phy device structure which
says "someone called my phydrv->set_wol() callback, this succeeded and
WoL is now enabled for me", rather than using this potentially racy
call? This would have to be modified in phy_ethtool_set_wol() for
instance?

This is kind of theoretical though as I can't picture a case where
this sequence of events would happen in real-life.
