This just reinforces what Michael said about name confusion.

Michael's proposal of separating SSB and AXI, and decoupling the device drivers from the bus routines, is going to be much more maintainable in the long run. AXI is going to be far more widespread than SSB ever was, and it would be really unfortunate if we carry the SSB baggage forward.

I've been poking around at disentangling the sb and ai routines in drivers/staging/brcm80211/utils/{aiutils,sbutils,siutils}.c. I don't have anything to put out for comments yet, but it's enough to convince me that it's the right direction.
