Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm fix from Dan Williams:
 "This contains a regression fix for a problem that was introduced in
  v4.7-rc6.

  In 4.7-rc1 we introduced auto-probing for the ACPI DSM (device-
  specific-method) format that the platform firmware implements for
  nvdimm devices.  We initially fixed a regression in probing the QEMU
  DSM implementation by making acpi_check_dsm() tolerant of the way QEMU
  reports the "0 DSMs supported" condition.

  However, that broke HPE platforms since that tolerance caused the
  driver to mistakenly match the 1-zero-byte response those platforms
  give to "unknown" commands.  Instead, we simply make the driver
  tolerant of not finding any supported DSMs.  This has been tested to
  work with both QEMU and HPE platforms.

  This commit has appeared in a -next release with no reported issues"
