Can be NULL

Not really. This may not be called if it's NULL -- see hpt374_init_setup().
Maybe worth a comment though...

Kaboom

That was a dud bomb. ;-)

What stops a hot unplug of a 374 from causing that to occur. I don't see

Pinned as in pci_get_device()? If so, see setup-ide.c:ide_scan_pcibus().
The IDE core does that for me.

ide_scan_pcibus() is used iff IDE is built-in.

Moreover pci_get_device() holds reference _only_ to the current PCI device
(the reference count to @from PCI device is _always_ decremented).

 Indeed... doesn't it look like a buglet in the IDE core?

It is OK, when ide_scan_pcibus() is not used

  But whan it is used?

Then it keeps the reference to PCI device itself by using pci_get_device()...

Well, that I know. What I was asking is where the reference is kept after the driver init time -- we're still working with the PCI device, so unplagging it would be wrong thing to do. Actually, we should never call pci_dev_put() since IDE drivers are not unloadable, right?

Now that I look at pci_device_probe() it seems that there should be additional
pci_dev_get() call in ide_scan_pcidev() if d->probe() succeeds.  Care to fix it?

   Yeah. OK to convert it to kernel style by the same patch?
