Hi Linus, please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm tags/libnvdimm-fixes-5.0-rc3

...to receive a crash fix, a build warning fix, a miscellaneous small
cleanups.

In case anyone is looking for them, there was a regression caught by
testing that caused 2 patches to be dropped from this update. Those
patches [1] [2] have been reworked and will soak for another week / re-
target 5.0-rc4.

[1]: "acpi/nfit: Block function zero DSMs"
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10765211/
[2]: "acpi/nfit: Fix command-supported detection" 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10772123/

Everything else has been in -next release with no reported issues.

  libnvdimm/security: Fix nvdimm_security_state() state request selection (2019-01-15 13:54:33 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
libnvdimm v5.0-rc3

* Fix driver initialization crash due to the inability to report an
  'error' state for a DIMM's security capability.
* Build warning fix for little-endian ARM64 builds
* Fix a potential race between the EDAC driver's usage of the NFIT
  SMBIOS id for a DIMM and the driver shutdown path.
* A small collection of one-line benign cleanups for duplicate variable
  assignments, a duplicate header include and a mis-typed function
  argument.
