Subject: [GIT PULL] libnvdimm fix for v5.9-rc5

Hi Linus, please pull from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm.git
tags/libnvdimm-fix-v5.9-rc5

...to receive another fix for detection of DAX support for block
devices. The previous fix in this area (merged in -rc3) was incomplete,
and this should finally address all the problems.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Fix decetion of dax support for block devices. Previous fixes in this
area, which only affected printing of debug messages, had an incorrect
condition for detection of dax. This fix should finally do the right thing.
