Is it safe to keep E1000_WUFC_LNKC enabled here?
From commit 6bf6be1127f7 ("e1000e: Do not wake up the system via WOL if device wakeup is disabled"):
/* Runtime suspend should only enable wakeup for link changes */
if (runtime)
wufc = E1000_WUFC_LNKC;
else if (device_may_wakeup(&pdev->dev))
wufc = adapter->wol;
else
wufc = 0;
So it has different wakeup settings for runtime suspend and system suspend, either device_may_wakeup() true or false.
Or maybe e1000e devs can confirm E1000_WUFC_LNKC is a safe for system suspend?
