*IFF* it's an e1000e-specific bug, right?

Through a quick glance, the only significant change in e1000e is the
commit 1060707e3809
ptp: introduce helpers to adjust by scaled parts per million

Others are only for MTP/ADP and new devices, which must be irrelevant.
The tracing must be irrelevant, and the kmap change must be OK.

Can 1060707e3809 be the cause of such a bug?
