The driver predates standard cable detect routines and open-codes its
own one.  There should be no functionality changes caused by this patch.

Commit a619f981b ("libata: PATA driver for Celleb") is from Jan 2007
while ata_cable_80wire() was added by commit be0d18d ("libata: cable
detection fixes") in Mar 2007.

Subject: [PATCH] pata_scc: add proper cable detection method

Use standard ata_cable_80wire() method for the cable detection,
as a bonus this allows us to use the default ->prereset method.
