* [PATCH] e100: Don't enable WoL by default on Toshiba devices

Enabling WoL on some Toshiba laptops (such as Portege R100) causes battery
drain after shutdown (WoL is active even on battery). These laptops have the
WoL bit set in EEPROM ID, causing e100 driver to enable WoL by default.

Check subsystem vendor ID and if it's Toshiba, don't enable WoL by default
from EEPROM settings.

What happened to this patch? I don't see it in net.git or net-next.git 
(checked both davem's and jkirsher's)

Sorry, I thought I had replied with a NAK on this patch after further
review of the changes.

We don't fix BIOS issues in the driver especially regarding feature
enablement like WoL.  We would end up with dozens of these kinds of fixes
if we to allow this.

You should go back to the OEM and ask for a BIOS update to resolve this or
configure udev so that ethtool disables WoL.

This is not a BIOS bug. When the machine is powered off in BIOS (or GRUB), 
everything is OK.

The bug is that e100 driver enables WoL based on some bit in EEPROM that 
happens to be set on at least some Toshiba laptops and user has no way to 
change it. Windows driver does not do this. Other Linux ethernet drivers 
don't do this. When user wants WoL, (s)he enables it in BIOS and OS. Maybe 
this (mis)feature should be removed from the driver.

Yes, the EEPROM can be modified/updated through the BIOS update I
suggested earlier.  So again, a BIOS issue.

OR you can configure udev so that ethtool disables WoL if you do not
want to pursue a EEPROM update through a BIOS update.

Yes, the EEPROM can be modified/updated through the BIOS update I
suggested earlier.  So again, a BIOS issue.

OR you can configure udev so that ethtool disables WoL if you do not
want to pursue a EEPROM update through a BIOS update.

The machine has already the latest BIOS and it's unlikely that Toshiba will 
release a new version for old laptops.

I can configure udev but what about other people that install Linux and expect 
it to work (not drain battery after shutdown)? Without needing to know what 
udev, ethtool or WoL is.
