lsblk is awesome for viewing a system's storage stack. However, it
would be great if it just spit out the list of devices sharing a
multipath name instead of repeating the full tree for each device.
lsblk -i from version 2.29.2, only one tree shown but the exact same
tree appears under sdai as well on my example host.

sdce                             69:32   0 838.4G  0 disk
`-mpathal                       254:44   0 838.4G  0 mpath
  `-md1                           9:1    0     9T  0 raid10
    `-cryptmd1                  254:55   0     9T  0 crypt

In this cases --merge usually helps (if there is defined relation by
kernel; e.g. DM thin), or you can use --dedup (for example to
de-duplicate by WWN).
