In theory I agree, but we have seen before that it can not be predicted 
or logically explained which kernel build suffers from the issue or does 
not. WoL is definitely off. When it was enabled, the LED already turned 
on with the BIOS diagnostics screen and not at the end of the boot 
process as observed with the patched kernel.

I just tried the Fedora kernel provided in comment 107. Unfortunately 
the fault neither shows up with this kernel nor with the stock Fedora 
kernel 4.19.12 it is based on. I will further try to find a kernel which 
fails to bring up the link AND provides some useful debug information 
but can't anticipate if and when.

You are welcome ;-)
