I hope you dropped the 20619 new EH patch but applied this one.

Maybe the patch description was too terse given the broken 20619 patch:
This patch corrects TX2plus PATA in current #upstream. It's currently
unrelated to 20619 (since 20619 has its own ops and a ->phy_reset which
calls pdc_pata_cbl_detect()), but later when 20619 is converted to new EH,
it ensures that 20619 continues to do PATA cable detection.

The bug originated in the #promise-sata-pata branch, which added
TX2plus PATA support but didn't hook in any cable detection.
I failed to observe that omission when reworking #promise-sata-pata
into the form that got merged.
