Hi Nish,

I tried bisecting and the guilty patch seems to be

36501650ec45b1db308c3b51886044863be2d762 is first bad commit
commit 36501650ec45b1db308c3b51886044863be2d762
Author: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>

ide: keep pointer to struct device instead of struct pci_dev in ide_hwif_t

the gdb output, also points to the changes made by the guilty patch

$2 = 0xffffffff8041820c
(gdb) l *0xffffffff8041820c
