If "y" is not a valid option, we'll need to adjust 0-day's dependency
specification for ndctl test:

wfg /c/lkp-tests% cat include/ndctl
need_kconfig:
- CONFIG_HAVE_DMA_CONTIGUOUS=y
- CONFIG_CMA=y
- CONFIG_DMA_CMA=y
- CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES=200
- CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM
- CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PMEM
- CONFIG_ND_BLK
- CONFIG_BTT=y
- CONFIG_NVDIMM_PFN=y
- CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=y
- CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE=y

In the above list, a bare "CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PMEM" means "y" or "m" are
both acceptable.
