The comment is not required, though I put it in there to help readers
understand that this is purely for use by Wake-on-LAN, since unlike a
MACs, PHYs are not capable of redirecting certain flows to certain
queues, too low in the packet processing that there is not a notion of a
queue at that point (FIFO yes, but not queue as in what the networking
stack wants to use).
