I would say either one below is correct. 

 - compatible = "fsl,imx6sl-ssi", "fsl,imx51-ssi", "fsl,imx21-ssi";
 - compatible = "fsl,imx6sl-ssi", "fsl,imx51-ssi";

But when commit 98ea6ad2edd2 (ARM: dts: imx6: use imx51-ssi) updates the
compatible, it might be better to just replace "fsl,imx21-ssi" with
"fsl,imx51-ssi".

This one is incorrect now.  The "fsl,imx21-ssi" should be replaced by
"fsl,imx51-ssi" per commit above.  Care to send a patch for it?
