Yep.  The final patch looks fine overall (thanks for adding TRIM support
also to drivers/ide), with the small exception for this chunk:

@@ -521,6 +567,9 @@ static int set_wcache(ide_drive_t *drive, int arg)
 
        update_ordered(drive);
 
+       if (ata_id_has_trim(drive->id))
+               blk_queue_set_discard(drive->queue, idedisk_prepare_discard);
+
        return err;
 }

as it would fit better somewhere in ide_disk_setup() ISO set_wcache()...

[ When it comes to CodingStyle issues I don't care that much though I think
  that applying Sergei's suggestions will make the patch more consistent with
  the rest of drivers/ide code... ]
