The correct values to return are:
#define BUS_PROBE_SPECIFIC 0 /* Only I can use this device */
#define BUS_PROBE_VENDOR (-10) /* Vendor supplied driver */
#define BUS_PROBE_DEFAULT (-20) /* Base OS default driver */
#define BUS_PROBE_LOW_PRIORITY (-40) /* Older, less desirable drivers */
#define BUS_PROBE_GENERIC (-100) /* generic driver for dev */
#define BUS_PROBE_HOOVER (-500) /* Generic dev for all devs on bus */
So, ata should be returning _GENERIC, and Hong's driver should use
_VENDOR...
