Between 2.6.32 and 2.6.33, there were only 6 patches that touched SSB. Two of
them (e33761e and 3ba6018) affected SPROM writing, one (37ace3d) was only for
PCMCIA, and one (ac2752c) only affected logging of a core scan. The two
remaining are 391ae22 that fixed an SDIO typo and 8b45499 that put host pointers
in a union should be the only ones that needed testing.

Those patches are attached. Try each of them in turn to 2.6.33 with a
'patch -p1 -R < patch_name' If it doesn't help, use the same command without the
"-R" to reapply. I'm guessing that 8b45499 is more likely to be the problem, and
I would try it first.
