No, everything shows as daxX.Y character devices across hmem and pmem
producers. For example:

# daxctl list -RDu
[
  {
    "path":"/platform/hmem.1",
    "id":1,
    "size":"4.00 GiB (4.29 GB)",
    "align":2097152,
    "devices":[
      {
        "chardev":"dax1.0",
        "size":"4.00 GiB (4.29 GB)"
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "path":"/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/ACPI0012:00/ndbus0/region2/dax2.1",
    "id":2,
    "size":"125.01 GiB (134.23 GB)",
    "align":2097152,
    "devices":[
      {
        "chardev":"dax2.0",
        "size":"125.01 GiB (134.23 GB)"
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "path":"/platform/hmem.0",
    "id":0,
    "size":"4.00 GiB (4.29 GB)",
    "align":2097152,
    "devices":[
      {
        "chardev":"dax0.0",
        "size":"4.00 GiB (4.29 GB)"
      }
    ]
  }
]
