Subject: [PATCH net 6/6] ixp4xx_eth: Validate hwtstamp_config completely
 before applying it

hwtstamp_ioctl() should validate all fields of hwtstamp_config
before making any changes.  Currently it sets the TX configuration
before validating the rx_filter field.

Untested as I don't have a cross-compiler to hand.
