Just to double check. This is a resend of this patch?
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
Dave Jiang, I'm picking up all these for the nvdimm tree and I think there
were a couple I was not CC'ed on. I'll coordinate with you because I'm
still seeing a couple of these warnings on other modules in the test
build.
Also I want to double check all the descriptions before I send for 6.11.
Jeff is it ok if I alter the text? I know you mentioned to Jonathan you
really just wanted to see the errors go away.

Yes, please make the text whatever makes the most sense. In most of these
cases I'm not a domain expert so I construct these descriptions based upon
code comments, Kconfig descriptions, and git descriptions, and in some cases
these are originally wrong due to cut-n-paste or the drivers have evolved so
that information is no longer accurate.
I need to add a version of that to my b4 cover letter!
