If by "works" you mean I don't see the message there, then yes, it does.
Logs say the message started appearing on Oct 4th after me building
Linus master after the merge window started.

there.

This is brought by commit: 65fe1f0f66a57380229a4ced844188103135f37b,
ahci: implement aggressive SATA device sleep support.
