Perhaps put this in:
commit $abbrev_commit ("block: add flag for add_disk() completion notation")

"del_gendisk() is not required if the disk has not been added. On
kernels prior to commit $abbrev_commit ("block: add flag for
add_disk() completion notation")
it is mandatory to not call del_gendisk() if the underlying device has
not been through device_add()."
Fixes: 41cd8b70c37a ("libnvdimm, btt: add support for blk integrity")
With that you can add:
