It still registers my docking bridge as -1:

acpiphp: ACPI Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.5
acpiphp: Slot [4294967295] registered
acpiphp_ibm: ibm_find_acpi_device:  Failed to get device
information<3>acpiphp_ibm: ibm_find_acpi_device:  Failed to get device
information<3>acpiphp_ibm: ibm_find_acpi_device:  Failed to get device
information<3>acpiphp_ibm: ibm_acpiphp_init: acpi_walk_namespace
failed
radeonfb: Retrieved PLL infos from BIOS

...which is still better than not registering it at all :-).

This one actually does not oops at insertion into dock. Good!

It detects insertion into dock:

When I press eject button, I get

and dock fan stops (but machine is not unlocked):

root@amd:/sys/bus/pci/slots/4294967295# cat *

cat: attention: Invalid argument

...but I can't remove machine.
