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/ ?
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
