This seems to be already included in the current netdev git.

Nonetheless, the current unmodified version from netdev git solves the
oops in sky2. I have not diffed my old vs. this version, but whoever is
interested in which change fixed the oops, it should be somewhere in
commit 0a1449c in our Gibraltar kernel git repository.

Thanks a lot for that hint!
