Boot with clover and press F2 at the boot menu. That should save a preboot.log to Clover/misc/reboot.log.
What class does it say your NVMe SSD is?

In preboot.log there is a line that reads
PciRoot(0x0)\Pci(0x1,0x1)\Pci(0x0,0x0)\NVMe(0x1,2B-13-16-5A-53-38-25-00)

I was expecting something like this list of PCI devices in that log:

my samsung 950 pro is recognized as such:
0:107 0:000 PCI (00|0B:00.00) : 144D A802 class=010802
Maybe its also a bios problem with my board hence it does not show up in bios but it shows up in boot selection screen of bios.. kinda weird.
IONvmeFamily.kext looks for
"IOPCIClassMatch" = "0x01800200&0xffffff00"

many boards disable certain SATA ports for the use of NVME at max lanes.
Look at your manual in which port you should plug your sata while having an nvme running.

That's terrific ! Just tried it and it works for my SM951-nvme. Here is the actual download link:

With Clover-efi, just copy the "NVMeGeneric.kext" into the kext folder matching your system version (or "Other") in EFI/Clover/kexts and reboot. No need to chown or rebuild caches.
(As the blog page states, it presumably won't be able to boot osx...)
