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. - Henry
