No, it's not. That's the merge commit for the v3.7 merge window.

Compare this:

 $ git log --oneline --grep='tg3.*HWMON' v3.6..origin/master
 aecdc33 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
 de0a414 tg3: unconditionally select HWMON support when tg3 is enabled.

to this:

 $ git log --oneline --grep='tg3.*HWMON' v3.6..stable/linux-3.6.y

No tg3 fix in the v3.6 stable series. But Dave may has queued it already?
