We have limited demand for platform PATA support across MIPS platforms: $ find arch/mips -type f | sort | xargs grep -l pata_platform_info arch/mips/alchemy/devboards/db1200.c arch/mips/alchemy/devboards/db1300.c arch/mips/sibyte/swarm/platform.c $ certainly not high enough to justify enabling support for PATA_PLATFORM port-wide. SiByte platforms are handled selectively already, so just make a similar arrangement for Alchemy DB1XXX platforms. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
