Please see below for the reason why I explicitly disable direct-complete in the driver.

If we really want direct-complete here, maybe always set current WoL setting in runtime suspend routine?

I don't think it's a good idea to use this predicate out side of PM core, must_resume may change during suspend process.

What about plugging ethernet cable and using WoL after system is suspended?
Commit "e1000e: Exclude device from suspend direct complete optimization" was to address that scenario.

Also, most e1000e device on modern platforms doesn't runtime suspend at all after commit "e1000e: Disable runtime PM on CNP+".
