The core ethtool API validates the WoL options passed from userspace against the support which the driver reports from its get_wol() method, returning EINVAL if an unsupported mode is requested. Therefore, there is no need for stmmac to implement its own validation. Remove this unnecessary code. See ethnl_set_wol() in net/ethtool/wol.c and ethtool_set_wol() in net/ethtool/ioctl.c.
