Please add:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm.git
libnvdimm-fixes

We currently merge this into libnvdimm-for-next for -next coverage,
and resolve any conflicts vs new development. Do you want to see those
conflicts? Otherwise I would recommend only pulling libnvdimm-for-next
for -next and libnvdimm-fixes for this new -next-fixes effort.
