I applied the patch and then the error went away and the system boots up
successfully. To be sure it was no other (build related) problem I
removed the line again, did a make kernel again and then I got the same
error as before.
So - this line definitly makes my system work again. If you want to add a
comment (so none else removes it in the future again ;)) - my exactl
model is "Promise SATA300 TX2+"

    vendor     = 'Promise Technology Inc'
    device     = 'SATAII 300 TX2+ (PDC40775)'
    class      = mass storage
