Hi Arnd,

Note that this is a duplicate of:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240215144633.96437-2-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com/

now present in Andrew's tree.

The only differences are the subject, commit message and a newline between "set_dax_nomc"
and "set_dax_synchronous" in your change.

Thanks,

Mathieu
