Hi,

after having a good night's sleep over that, it's obviously a merge
commit which cannot easily be reverted. How would I continue after
identifying a merge commit as the culprit?

git diff aea5f654e6b7..19725496da5602b401eae389736ab00d1817e264,
filtered for r8169 looks manageable:

--- a/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c
+++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c
@@ -7396,8 +7396,7 @@ static int rtl_init_one(struct pci_dev *pdev, const struc

        mutex_init(&tp->wk.mutex);
        u64_stats_init(&tp->rx_stats.syncp);

but the other one seems unmanageably big:

But, indeed, adding the call to __rtl8169_set_wol(tp, 0) fixes the issue
for me and the machine now wakes up from StR on a magic packet without
having to go through strange ethtool motions.

Would that code change be suitable for the official kernel cod?
