As far as I can see, there are two possibilities:

a) Merge the HND/AI code into the current SSB code, or

b) add the missing code for SoCs to brcm80211 and replace the SSB code with it.
Why can't we keep those two platforms separated?
Is there really a lot of shared code between SSB and HND/AI?
I don't think there's a lot of shared code, but I believe that you need
b43 to be able to target cores on both? And b43 currently uses the SSB
APIs only.
Yeah right. That's what I was thinking about, too. Just leave SSB alone
and add bus glues to b43 for HND/AI. There's almost no SSB specific code
in b43. So it should be easily possible to add another probe entry from
the (to be written or derived from brcm80211) HND/AI subsystem.
