Why not provide a proper pata_of.c driver based on ata_generic? That
will help the next person that has a builtin ata controller and wants
to get it running as an of_device.

If you simply export generic_sht (rename that to ata_generic_sht)
and generic_port_ops (-> ata_generic_port_ops), then the resulting
of_platform_driver should be no more complicated than the one
you are proposing here.
