Seems to be ATA SSD:
https://download.01.org/0day-ci/archive/20240624/202406241546.6bbd44a7-oliver.sang@intel.com/job.yaml

ssd_partitions: "/dev/disk/by-id/ata-INTEL_SSDSC2BG012T4_BTHC428201ZX1P2OGN-part1"

Most likely btrfs does something different depending on the nonrot flag
being set or not. (And like you are suggesting, most likely the value of
the nonrot flag is somehow different after commit bd4a633b6f)

Kind regards,
