Why not be a child of the i2c bus with a phandle to the ssi bus?

Because when I probe the SSI node, I want to know what the attached codec is.
  So if anything, I would need a pointer from the SSI bus *to* the respective
child on the I2C bus.

That's fine too (it's what is done with Ethernet PHYs).  My preference
is the other way around, but it's not a big issue in this case.

I'd just link in both directions, and let software follow it in
whichever direction it prefers.

Gah!  Don't do that!  Then you need to maintain both directions in the
dts file.  Software is good at generating reverse mappings.  Don't put
that burden on the dts author.  (the software principle of defining
things in one place only applies here)
