Okay, a bit more on this...
If I extend the arch/arm/kernel/bios32.c code to kill BARs 2/3 (which
actually are not present on the CY82C693) then the IDE driver works
for me, but the PATA driver does not:
cy82c693 0000:00:06.1: IDE controller (0x1080:0xc693 rev 0x00)
cy82c693 0000:00:06.1: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
legacy IDE will be removed in 2021, please switch to libata
