Why all the ragged lines? Better to use an editor that knows how to
justify a paragraph, more like this:

With the Intel 82527EI (driver: e1000e) there is an issue when running
the ptpd2 program, that leads to a kernel oops. The reason is here
that in e1000_xmit_frame() a work queue will be scheduled that has not
been initialized in this case. The work queue "tx_hwstamp_work" will
only be initialized if adapter->flags & FLAG_HAS_HW_TIMESTAMP set.
This check is missing in e1000_xmit_frame().

That not only looks nicer, but it is also more readable.

Thanks,
Richard
