What driver is normally used for versatile express pata?  This driver
is kind of legacy in that it was created when there was a split
between platform_device and of_platform_devices.  But that split was a
bad idea and the same driver should be used regardless of whether or
not DT is enabled.  pata_of_platform.c really should be removed.
It normally uses the plain pata_platform.c driver.

Note that the pata_of_platform driver is already just a shim on
top of the regular pata_platform driver. They could easily be combined,
but the current state is also ok, since there is very little code
duplication.
