Hello Dmitry and Linux Input people,

In the last months I sent (or was involved in) a couple of small patches
[1][2] (bug fixes or small addition to an existing driver) and they have
been around in the mailing list for quite some time (months, 2023-09-20
the oldest one).

I am not sure on how to progress here, therefore looking for some advise.

Maybe they did just fall through the cracks, in this case just take this
as a kind head up (or maybe those email did not pass some aggressive
spam filtering?).

Or maybe the changes are not deemed correct or something wrong was done,
and in this case it would be great to know what we could improve.

Or, maybe you just had other priorities (life and work are challenging
at times, I know), in this case, if possible, I would love to know if I
can provide some small help in any way.
Sorry, I am swamped with other projects. I just responded on the
mailing list for the patch [2].
You got a new patch version 2 months ago and no comment afterward.

What about https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231222183114.30775-1-francesco@dolcini.it/ (local) ?
Those are just a couple of small fixes that should be easy to provide a
feedback on, or eventually just apply? That one is on the LKML since
September 2023.

With that said, sorry for buggering you again, I understand that you
might have other project and priorities, however I do not know how to
move forward.

In the end what I am looking for is some guidance on what's the best way
to contribute in an effective way such kind of small fixes/improvements
to the Linux input subsystem drivers.

Thanks
Francesco
