The IP version on ZU+ and Versal supports the below combinations for WOL
event:
1. Magic packet (Wake-on magic packet only)
2. ARP (Wake-on ARP packet only)
3. Magic packet or ARP (Wake-on magic or ARP packets)
The existing DT binding already has one entry for
wol via magic packet. We are adding ARP packet support to the existing
implementation.
I will change the commit message in v2.

Magic packet and ARP packets are two different wol events.
IP supports configuring in the above-mentioned ways.
Hence, I think it would be good to not mix with magic packet.
Please let me know your suggestions/comments.
Thanks,
