When management firmware declares that the device is WoL-capable, the default driver behavior would be to allow the management firmware to take the decision of whether it's actually needed or not.
Problem is ethtool interface doesn't have a 'default' kind of option, and user would see the interface WoL as disabled, which doesn't accurately reflect the actual configuration. More-so, if the user actually wants to explicitly disable WoL he'd have to first enable it [otherwise ethtool would block the command]. Instead of allowing management to make the decision, enable WoL by default on all devices capable of it.
