Problem with rtl8180 driver and git kernel be338637e83b2ae335d68a271a13d77b570931fe

I have pulled the most recent wireless git kernel (tag as per Subject:) and find that the rtl8180 driver or, more probably, something that it depends on, is causing a kernel panic.

Initially, I got the following (manually transcribed) diagnostic:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000006 RIP:
[] :rtl8180:rtl8180_tx+0x6d/0x23e
PGD 79816067 PUD 79878067 PMD 0
Oops: 0000 [1]

On subsequent hung reboots I am getting rather more output but am still pondering how to trap that :-(

However, some of the diagnostic seems to implicate (IIRC) ieee80211_sta_scan_work so it may be that recent
changes as described at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/10730 are not working in 
this instance.

This is on an x86_64 SMP system.  Please request any additional information that might be useful.
