Hmm, now that I have net-next updated, I think the original commit is
wrong but not as I thought.

The way this has been added, it means that if we have a PHY on a SFP,
we can end up changing the settings on the SFP PHY if there is one
present.  Do we want to support WoL on SFPs?

David, can you revert 5e3768a436bb70c9c3e27aaba6b73f8ef8f5dcf3 please?
It's a layering violation, and as Andrew has found, it causes kernel
oopses.

What we need instead is support in phylink for doing this, which isn't
going to be a couple of lines change to what was added to mvneta in
the referenced commit.

Thanks.
