Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"A regression fix, new unit test infrastructure and a build fix:
- Regression fix addressing support for the new NVDIMM label storage
area access commands (_LSI, _LSR, and _LSW).
The Intel specific version of these commands communicated the
"Device Locked" status on the label-storage-information command.
However, these new commands (standardized in ACPI 6.2) communicate
the "Device Locked" status on the label-storage-read command, and
the driver was missing the indication.
Reading from locked persistent memory is similar to reading
unmapped PCI memory space, returns all 1's.
- Unit test infrastructure is added to regression test the "Device
Locked" detection failure.
- A build fix is included to allow the "of_pmem" driver to be built
as a module and translate an Open Firmware described device to its
local numa node"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
