Will split into two patch for next iteration.

Do you mean the other two LEDs? They are not used on this machine.

This NIC on the machine doesn't support WoL.

Right, that's why the original approach is passing the flag from the MAC driver.
That approach can be more specific and doesn't touch unrelated PHYs.

Will change it.
