This is broken, and whatever platform that requires this is broken.

This has absolutely nothing to do with nvme, and should not be handled
by a driver.

The platform code should be fixed.

What broken platform is this, and why is it causing problems?

None of this wishy-washy "some platforms". Name them, and let's get them fixed.
