Oh, looking at that commit that might make sense. In
ahci_host_activate_single_irq it now uses dev_driver_name instead of dev_name as
it did before (from ata_host_activate).  The description sounds like before the
driver is registered this will return the bus. And registering an interrupt
would likely be before the driver is fully registered... But you probably saw
that, too. Whether that really was intentional is still the question. :)
