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/ ? 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
