The quilt patch titled
Subject: dm: treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
dm-treat-alloc_dax-eopnotsupp-failure-as-non-fatal.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: dm: treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 09:46:28 -0500
In preparation for checking whether the architecture has data cache
aliasing within alloc_dax(), modify the error handling of dm alloc_dev()
to treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as non-fatal.
