I have compared the branches master and mm-master in John's tree. Only
drivers/ssb/driver_extif.c is present in mm-master, other files from th=
e
same directory and files from include/linux/ssb/* are missing. Also the
changes to drivers/Kconfig and drivers/Makefile are also missing in
mm-master.

So in short there is only one file concerning SSB drivers in the
mm-master branch and it is useless without the other files.

On the other side b44 and bcm43xx drivers that use the SSB drivers are
present in the mm-master branch.
