priv->tx_hdr_len is set by the driver _after_ it called p54_init_common.
While this isn't much a problem for any PCI or ISL3887 cards/sticks,
because they don't need any extra header and therefore tx_hdr_len is
zero for them...

Larry, do you have any comments?
Because this series will eventually go to stable@kernel.org too...
