Looking at the cs4270 codec driver it is controlled by i2c (supports
SPI too).  What happened to the conversation about putting codecs on
the controlling bus and then linking them to the data bus?

If that's the case the cs4270 should be in the i2c bus node (missing
currently) and then a link from the SSI bus would point to it.

cs4270 is still an old style i2c driver which is going to get
deprecated. It takes about thirty minutes to convert it to new style.
If was new style it could pick up its i2c address from the device tree
instead of searching for it.
