Huh? The NVME_QUIRK_BOGUS_NID is a new define and the code which uses
this quirk is also new, and so I'm curious *how and why* the auto-sel
stuff for stable can decide to merge this and this should not even
compile? I see this was backported to v5.15  and v5.17 as well.

I didn't get Cc'd on perhaps some other patches, but this immediately
caught my attention as not applicable, unless of course the patch
"nvme: add a quirk to disable namespace identifiers" was also sent
as part of this series to stable kernels. And if that was done, well
holy crap, really?

Cc'ing Klaus on the qemu side of things so he's aware.
