Actually, phy_ethtool_get_wol is the caller here. This belongs to
a set of helpers that deal with phy_device, not netdev.

Looking at the other users of phy_ethtool_get_wol (mv643xx_eth and
cpsw), both drivers use this helper to determine what to pass back
on the corresponding ethtool_get_wol call.

BTW, both drivers above do zero ethtool_wolinfo before calling
phy_ethtool_get_wol. I can either zero it in phy_suspend too or we
deal with it properly in phy_ethtool_get_wol instead:

void phy_ethtool_get_wol(struct phy_device *phydev, struct 
ethtool_wolinfo *wol)
{
	memset(wol, 0, sizeof(*wol));

	if (phydev && phydev->drv->get_wol)
		phydev->drv->get_wol(phydev, wol);
}

That would also simplify above drivers down to e.g:

static void cpsw_get_wol(struct net_device *ndev, struct ethtool_wolinfo 
*wol)
{
	struct cpsw_priv *priv = netdev_priv(ndev);
	int slave_no = cpsw_slave_index(priv);
	phy_ethtool_get_wol(priv->slaves[slave_no].phy, wol);
}

instead of:

static void cpsw_get_wol(struct net_device *ndev, struct ethtool_wolinfo 
*wol)
{
	struct cpsw_priv *priv = netdev_priv(ndev);
	int slave_no = cpsw_slave_index(priv);

	wol->supported = 0;
	wol->wolopts = 0;

	if (priv->slaves[slave_no].phy)
		phy_ethtool_get_wol(priv->slaves[slave_no].phy, wol);
}
