Subject: Re: [PATCH net 3/3] net: lan743x: Address problems with wake option
flags configuration sequences
So i think we need to agree on best practices for new drivers and
document what that is, probably in both the ethtool man page and
include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h
* WAKE_MAGIC on its own is O.K.
* WAKE_MAGICSECURE without WAKE_MAGIC is invalid. -EINVAL
* WAKE_MAGIC + WAKE_MAGICSECURE means only secure magic WoL.
* Each driver needs to enforce this, due to backwards compatibility.
Some may decide not to.
Can we agree on this?
Andrew
