Can be NULL

  Not really. This may not be called if it's NULL -- see hpt374_init_setup().
Maybe worth a comment though...

Kaboom

  That was a dud bomb. ;-)

What stops a hot unplug of a 374 from causing that to occur. I don't see

   Pinned as in pci_get_device()? If so, see setup-ide.c:ide_scan_pcibus().
The IDE core does that for me.

ide_scan_pcibus() is used iff IDE is built-in.

Moreover pci_get_device() holds reference _only_ to the current PCI device
(the reference count to @from PCI device is _always_ decremented).

   Indeed... doesn't it look like a buglet in the IDE core?

where you have the other pci_dev pinned on a hotplug on a box set to scan
the devices in reverse order

   Function 1 will always be skipped, regardless of the scan order.

Yes, but init_chipset_hpt366() will still try to access Function 1

No! Re-read the code please: init_chipset_hpt366() won't be called for function 1 if that one is not detected, and only in this case it does function 0 access to read the saved f_CNT value.

even if earlier init_setup_hpt374() failed to obtain reference to it.

(yes its an extremely obscure case ;))

   "Security through obscurity". :-)

Not in this case. :-)

   Yeah, here we have another case. ;-)
