See below, but adding:
gtm = ata_acpi_init_gtm(ap);
if (!gtm)
return ATA_CBL_PATA40;
would be an additional nice cleanup.

While at it, maybe change ata_acpi_cbl_80wire() returns ATA_CBL_PATA_UNK,
ATA_UDMA_MASK_40C or ATA_CBL_PATA80, and rename that function to something like:
ata_acpi_cbl_pata_type()
The call to ata_acpi_init_gtm() can also go into that function, thus removing
the gtm argument.
With that, this big ugly hunk would become:
return ata_acpi_cbl_pata_type(ap);
