Bug Description
After updating kernel from 5.15.0-26 to 5.15.0-127, nvme disk WWID changed from /dev/disk/
This issue happened on specific nvme vendor , such as Intel NVMe SSD :

After investigation, it was found that the introduction of NVME_QUIRK_

Is it possible remove NVME_QUIRK_
Hi, I think the purpose of NVME_QUIRK_ BOGUS_NID is meant to fix the problem that the id may vary per commit 00ff400e6deee00 f7b15e200205b27 08b63b8cf6 (“nvme: add a quirk to disable namespace identifiers”). The id you have right now is the really fixed one that it should have been. So I think ubuntu kernel should align with the decision from the upstream here as well. I'm marking this as WONTFIX.
