I can live with doing it through John.
And as bcm43xx depends on ssb we are doomed to go through
John's tree.
So if you always pull John's tree, you'll be up to date with
wireless + ssb.

So if you drop everything b44, bcm43xx and ssb related
and pull John's tree, it will compile again.

So, my question: How is the mainline merge going to happen?
Do you handle that, or do I have to generate some split-out
patches for ssb (I have a script for that).
