Hmm, I think I was a bit overzealous here. :( I've committed the 
existing Marvell patch that works with the current firmware and we 
can live with it for now and if needed, do a fw/driver update in 
the future for 8.2.1 to be in sync with upstream. I've tested
that simple wake on all ARP works but haven't done anything more
with it. This should show up in a joyride sometime today, once
the kernel autobuild kicks off.

Note that with the patch in the kernel we stll need changes to
userspace to properly setup the filters. At the minimum, we should
enable wake-up on all ARP packets as the default?
