[PATCH v2 30/33] libnvdimm, pmem: fix persistence warning

From: Dan Williams
Date: Fri Apr 14 2017 - 22:41:43 EST


The pmem driver assumes if platform firmware describes the memory
devices associated with a persistent memory range and
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API=y that it has all the mechanism necessary to
flush data to a power-fail safe zone. We warn if the firmware does not
describe memory devices, but we also need to warn if the architecture
does not claim pmem support.
