Hi Nageswara,
     Thanks for testing the patch-set.
There is a nit change which need to be done in patch 4(Documentation patch).
We need to update nvdimm mailing list from linux-nvdimm at lists.01.org to
nvdimm at lists.linux.dev.
I will make this change and send a new patch-set with your tested-by tag.

Thanks,
Kajol Jain
