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. --=20 .''`.
