It was reported that WoL from S5 is broken (WoL from S3 works) and the analysis showed that during system shutdown the network interface was brought down already when the actual kernel shutdown started. Therefore netif_running() returned false and as a consequence the PHY was suspended. Obviously WoL wasn't working then. To fix this the original patch needs to be effectively reverted. A side effect is that when normally bringing down the interface and WoL is enabled the PHY will remain powered on (like it was before the original patch).

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
