Personally, I would put the skb_tx_timestamp, before adding it to the array:

        /* make settings for echo to reduce code in irq context */
        skb->pkt_type = PACKET_BROADCAST;
        skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY;
        skb->dev = dev;
+       skb_tx_timestamp(skb);

        /* save this skb for tx interrupt echo handling */
        priv->echo_skb[idx] = skb;


I don't think it actually matters though.
