How do I make nvme-cli work to a /dev/sda device?

I have a nvme device in a usb enclosure. I can use smarctl to speak to the nvme device. I would like the "nvme" command from nvme-cli to also be able to talk to it.

nvmecli uses ioctls provided by the Kernel's NVMe layer to send commands. Devices that present themselves through the scsi layer can't be used by this program.
