I believe the only SB bus functions that brcmfmac uses are the core reset and
disable functions, and only when initializing the chip to download firmware
(all other management of the bus is handled by the on-chip CPU).  Is it
possible to use those funtions from ssb, without the ssb module trying to
manage the bus?
I haven't really looked at how much the brcmfmac driver uses ssb; I
just saw s(s)b_* stuff in there and remembered that ssb supports SDIO
host, so I assumed that there's part of the stack hidden in brcmfmac.
But if it's only core reset and disable, then what Michael said
applies ;-)
Yes, I was doubting there would be much benefit, but didn't have a strong
opinion either way.

Thanks for the feedback.
