[PATCH] Fix e1000e with Intel 82572EI that has no hardware timestamp support
From: Koehrer Mathias (ETAS/ESW5)
Date: Wed Aug 06 2014 - 09:56:58 EST
With the Intel 82527EI (driver: e1000e) there is an issue when running the ptpd2 program, that leads to a kernel oops.
The reason is here that in e1000_xmit_frame() a work queue will be scheduled that has not been initialized in this case.
The work queue "tx_hwstamp_work" will only be initialized if adapter->flags & FLAG_HAS_HW_TIMESTAMP set.
This check is missing in e1000_xmit_frame().
The following patch adds the missing check.
