Hi.

The 'time stamping in phy devices' code introduced in 2.6.36
(c1f19b51d1d87f3e3bb7e6648f43f7d57ed2da6b et al.) triggers
kernel panics when wireless devices are placed in monitor mode
(tested with b43 and ath5k devices on a 32-bit system).

To reproduce, set CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING=y and put a
wireless device into monitor mode:

 # ifconfig wlan0 down
 # iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor 
 # ifconfig wlan0 up
