That's correct. But I see what's going on.

Please try this:

commit 8d331952d2cd341d5c0e64eee961f78f6eb4b968

    block: Fix merge logic when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY is not defined

    Commit 4eaf99beadce switched to returning bool and as a result
    reversed the logic of the integrity merge checks.  However, the
    empty stubs used when the block integrity code is compiled out were
    still returning 0. Make these stubs return "true".
