Commit 3ce4f9c3fbb3 ("net/ps3_gelic_net: Add gelic_descr structures") of
6.8-rc1 had a copy-and-paste error where the pointer that holds the
allocated SKB (struct gelic_descr.skb)  was set to NULL after the SKB was
allocated. This resulted in a kernel panic when the SKB pointer was
accessed.

This fix moves the initialization of the gelic_descr to before the SKB
is allocated.

You are unconditionaly re-assigning value to descr->skb below, so above 
line is useless and should be removed.

Is this code move needed at all ?

At the end, isn't it enough to just drop the line descr->skb = NULL; ?
