fs_setup:
- device: /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:18:00.0-nvme-1

or

fs_setup:
- device: /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:18:00.0-nvme-1-part1

yields:

cc_disk_setup.py[WARNING]: Partition '0-nvme-1' from dotted device name '/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:18:00.0-nvme-1' overrides 'partition' key

cc_disk_setup.py[WARNING]: Partition '0-nvme-1-part1' from dotted device name '/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:18:00.0-nvme-1-part1' overrides 'partition' key

the dots in these device paths do not indicate a partition and it seems there is no way to disable the partition auto detection.

you should be able to use any of the /dev/disk/ paths. by-id by-partuuid by-path by-uuid
