That's very strange. The legacy code should be seeing that no devices are
present and then dropping the controller

        /* Nothing found means we drop the port as its probably not there */

        ret = -ENODEV;
        ata_for_each_dev(dev, &ap->link, ALL) {
                if (!ata_dev_absent(dev)) {
                        legacy_host[probe->slot] = host;
                        ld->platform_dev = pdev;
                        return 0;
                }
        }
        ata_host_detach(host);


so this ought to be triggered and free up the interface and the IRQ
