This line is just comparing the eth_hdr(skb)->h_dest with the STP address 
(static const buffer). 

Is there some situation when hsr would not initialize offset for eth_hdr() 
correctly or where h_dest is not initialized from a correctly initialized 
value? At least the comparisons with eth_hdr(skb)->h_source didn't cause this 
error.

Regarding my assupmtion: it seems like the hsr_xmit is only initializing the 
h_source in master mode. And there even more conditions (see
hsr_addr_subst_dest) for initializing the h_dest in master mode.

Btw. the code in hsr which "stored this" was

	if (skb_put_padto(skb, ETH_ZLEN + HSR_HLEN))
		return;
