Agreed, patch below.

The change from __setup() to module_param_named() requires users to 
prefix the option with "generic.".

This patch re-adds the __setup() additionally to the 
module_param_named().

Usually it would make sense getting rid of such an obsolete __setup() at 
some time, but considering that drivers/ide/ is slowly approaching a RIP 
status it's already implicitely scheduled for removal.

This patch fixes kernel Bugzilla #7353.
