Agreed.  Let's look at the error messages...

The dock driver called _DCK, which was successful.  So, the dock driver
did its job.

This message came from ata_eh_link_report(), which indicates that there
was an ATA link error detected.

This indicates that the target device, which I think the battery bay,
was gone.

So, it looks to me that the battery bay was undocked, but an ATA link
error was detected.  This could be either a new FW causing the ATA link
error or the ATA stack detecting the link error which didn't before.
