Whoops, I got it wrong :D
This is what it should look like:

static u64 b43_op_get_tsf(struct ieee80211_hw *hw)
{
       struct b43_wl *wl = hw_to_b43_wl(hw);
       struct b43_wldev *dev = wl->current_dev;
       u64 tsf;

	mutex_lock(&wl->mutex);
	spin_lock_irq(&wl->irq_lock);
	if (dev && (b43_status(dev) >= B43_STAT_INITIALIZED))
		b43_tsf_read(dev, &tsf);
	else
		tsf = 0;//FIXME? what to do on error?
	spin_unlock_irq(&wl->irq_lock);
	mutex_unlock(&wl->mutex);

       return tsf;
}
