I don't think it actually matters. The user is going to end up
invoking the PHY set wol. The PHY will setup what it can. On resume
you are going to call the PHYs set wol function again. It should do
the same as it did the first time. So if the PHY ignored WAKE_UCAST
and WAKE_MAGICSECURE the first time, it should also ignore them the
second time.

You should first answer Russell question. It could be a totally
different scheme might come of of the discussion with Russell.
