Other than the binding and wanting to use the standard ->set_mode they
appear to be identical so a copy of pata_platform ought to turn into a
pata_of very nicely.

You almost certainly simply don't want to provide one. I'm not sure the
pata_platform default one is right at all as it will assume the firmware
tuned everything. ata_generic does this purely because it is a "last
resort" driver for chips we can't tune/program at all.
