WOL filters specifications.

The patch 582c1b538fb47a2d6a41dbdadb031086c49446c1 introduced
(other than the ability to wake on specific criteria) structures
that are supposed to be used to specify fine grained wol roules.
Those rules tells the wifi chip to filter the received Ethernet packets
to be used for the wake event.

The question is, why those structures are so different from the
v5.1 firmware specifications?(pag 131: MrvlIETypes_HostSleepFilterType1
linked from pag 85: 5.13.3.3 CMD_802_11_HOST_SLEEP_CFG)

Is the 5.1 fw specs too old? or are these structures not valid?
Looking at the Marvell driver the Ethernet rules shall be specified
as written in the 5.1 firmware specs.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

Best regards,
