Here is an output from dax0.1 (I removed the size value).  Noticed that
mode is different.

# pwd
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/ACPI0012:00/ndbus0/region0/dax0.1

# grep . *
align:2097152
grep: dax: Is a directory
grep: dax_region: Is a directory
devtype:nd_dax
grep: driver: Is a directory
modalias:nd:t7
mode:pmem
namespace:namespace0.0
numa_node:0
grep: power: Is a directory
resource:0x250200000
size:(size value)
grep: subsystem: Is a directory
uevent:DEVTYPE=nd_dax
uevent:DRIVER=dax_pmem
uevent:MODALIAS=nd:t7
uuid:8c71811f-260d-4788-8487-db88d829d393
