No it doesn't. b44 and b43legacy don't use 64bit DMA.
Just fix it in ssb, please.

They (drivers) don't, but what if we start giving them routing for
64-bit DMA? AFAIU they treat 64-bit DMA as 32-bit one (according to
specs: "If 64 Bit isn't an option, Silicon Backplane and PCI-E buses
can use 32 bit DMA.").

Won't they start using 64-bit DMA in the 32-bit way but with 64-bit
routing bits?

The BCM4311 was the first device that supported 64-bit DMA. I had the first of those, and I got to debug the 64-bit stuff that had been written by Michael, but there had been no hardware for testing. All earlier devices were restricted to 32-bit paths.
