I've just retested the patch and haven't reproduced your problem:

da0 is an PATA ATAPI ZIP, da1 - USB floppy, ada0 - SATA HDD, cd0 - PATA
ATAPI CD-ROM.

Just an idea, aren't you are using legacy ata(4) + atapicam for your
cd0? atapicam lies that it's buses are SPI (SCSI).

As I have told - it is a bug/feature of libdevstat. It should not be
difficult to fix, if it is really a bug.
