Subject: e100: Laptop battery drain and WoL settings from EEPROM

Hello,
there is long-standing problem with battery drain after turning off at least
some Toshiba laptops, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/110784

I have the same problem with Toshiba Portege R100. When I shut it down in
Linux, the battery is drained to zero in a couple of days. I noticed that the
LAN port is still active, even when AC disconnected.

The WoL is enabled by default by e100 driver:

# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
        Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
        Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
        Supported pause frame use: No
        Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
        Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
        Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric
        Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
        Link partner advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half
        Link partner advertised pause frame use: No
        Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: No
        Speed: 10Mb/s
        Duplex: Half
        Port: MII
        PHYAD: 1
        Transceiver: internal
        Auto-negotiation: on
        Supports Wake-on: g
        Wake-on: g
        Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
                               drv probe link
        Link detected: yes

By this code:
        /* Wol magic packet can be enabled from eeprom */
        if ((nic->mac >= mac_82558_D101_A4) &&
           (nic->eeprom[eeprom_id] & eeprom_id_wol)) {
                nic->flags |= wol_magic;
                device_set_wakeup_enable(&pdev->dev, true);
        }

because the WoL bit is set in EEPROM ID word:

# ethtool -e eth0
Offset          Values
------          ------
0x0000:         xx xx xx xx xx xx 03 1b 00 00 01 02 01 47 00 00
0x0010:         00 00 00 00 a2 49 01 00 79 11 7f 00 00 00 00 00
                            ^^ bit 5 here
0x0020:         00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

0x0040:         00 00 00 00 00 00 3d 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0x0050:         00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0x0060:         e4 00 3f 40 09 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
0x0070:         00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f7 fe

Looks like this laptop is probably WoL-capable even on battery.

Measured the current from AC adapter:
around 20mA with WoL inactive (shut down from Windows or by power button in GRUB)
around 40mA with WoL active (shut down from Linux)

So to work-around this problem, users must disable WoL manually on each boot.

Maybe the driver should ignore the EEPROM WoL bit on Toshiba susbsystem IDs?
Or completely, like Windows driver does?
