> The Marvell PHY on the system doesn't support WoL.

Not technically correct. The PHY does, the way the PHY has been
integrated into the system does not.

But again, you need to think of the general case. Somebody else wants
to make use of this feature of not touching the LED configuration, but
does have a system were WoL works. What does that imply?
