[Bug 1826737] Re: lshw does not list NVMe storage devices as "disk" nodes ( RedHat Bug 1695343 )

[Stephen Boston]

Has this been corrected?

in Ubuntu 20.10.

[code]
shw -c storage
...
  *-storage
       description: Non-Volatile memory controller
       product: NVMe SSD Controller SM951/PM951
...
[/code]

The initial report suggests that NVME SSD should appear as 'disk' This
would not be correct  since NVME SSDs are not disks they are chips
providing storage.

What am I missing?

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.
