Ok.

However is it ok to use kfree() instead of kfree_skb() in Stephen's patch?

+               skb_new = skb_realloc_headroom(skb, GMAC_FCB_LEN);
+               if (!skb_new) {
+                       dev->stats.tx_errors++;
+                       kfree(skb);
+                       return NETDEV_TX_OK;
+               }
