I don't see a single powerpc machine that creates a
 name="pata_platform" platform_device. I suspect this was
only needed bwfore 2007 commit 9cd55be4d223 ("[POWERPC] pasemi:
Move electra-ide to pata_of_platform"), so the "|| PPC"
bit should just get removed without adding the HAVE_PATA_PLATFORM
bit.
