[Bug 1826737] Re: lshw does not list NVMe storage devices as "disk" nodes

[Eric Desrochers]

[sts-sponsors[hirsute]

In the absence of a reply from Debian, I have sponsored the patchset in
Hirsute.

My preference would have been to have a version bump but nevertheless,
the request to bump the version is still opened, and it's not too late
for us to sync with Debian once done if this still fit with the current
Hirsute freeze schedule: (or worse case scenario for next active devel
release)

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * NVMe devices are not recognized by lshw in Ubuntu

  [Test Case]

   * Running "lshw -C disk" or "lshw -C storage" does not show NVMe devices.
     Example: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/FfKGNc7W6M/

  [Where problems could occur]

   * This upload consists of four cherry-picked patches and the feature
  is self-contained, so the regression potential is quite low. If
  there's anything to happen, it would be in the network device scan,
  where the structure was altered by the main NVMe patch.

  * For those who does HW monitoring/inventory listing based on 'lshw'
  might observe changes in their inventory listing, it shouldn't be a
  'problem' but I want to point this out.
