This patch enables device-tree-based probing of the pata-generic platform driver across all architectures:

This may not be the correct way to support the CF slot on Versatile Express - it depends whether the CF slot on VE supports just CF memory cards or whether it can take any CF card. If the latter, then what may be inserted could be a CF network card, and that means it's probably wrong to tell the kernel that what's there is a PATA interface.
Interesting point. I don't know whether we've tried plugging anything else in... Pawel, can you comment? Cheers ---Dave
