Thanks for narrowing it down to wait_for_completion() call,
it was an useful hint.

Subject: [PATCH] ide: fix hwif->gendev refcounting

class->dev_release is called by device_release() iff dev->release
is not present so ide_port_class_release() is never called and the
last hwif->gendev reference is not dropped.

Fix it by removing ide_port_class_release() and get_device() call
from ide_register_port() (device_create_drvdata() takes a hwif->gendev
reference anyway).

This patch fixes hang on wait_for_completion(&hwif->gendev_rel_comp)
in ide_unregister() reported by Pavel Machek.
