ACK, unfortunately.

What do you think? I'd like to merge ssb as-is, although
the embedded-device parts are not quite finished, yet.
But they don't interfere with the non-embedded parts used
by b44 and the bcm43xx PCI cards.

How much testing have you (and others) done w/ b44?  I had to remove
the b44 ssb changes from fedora because a) users reported problems;
and b) I was more worried about wireless than b44+ssb. (sorry!)

So, has anyone been using b44 in -mm?

So we _could_ remove the ssb-mips code, but I don't like to
do that for better maintainability. It doesn't hurt anyone IMO.

I guess I don't see a problem w/ merging the mips part, as long as the
b44 part has been thoroughly tested.  I wonder if Ralf has an opinion?
