    tg3: unconditionally select HWMON support when tg3 is enabled.

Would you mind submitting this for stable by following the procedure
described in Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt?

Seems to have been taken into stable already. 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=commitdiff;h=aecdc33e111b2c447b622e287c6003726daa1426

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?
