Good evening, you mean https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/20/27 / https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20190620061038.GA20564@xxxxxx/T/ , right? And yes, I have this problem as well. On a Toshiba z20t-c, and this device has no option to switch this off. And even if has, there is the problem that this device has no "normal" NVMe driver in the uefi it seems, so it could not boot from...
