I don't think that he doesn't have time for review anymore, since
he is active in his git tree [0] and has sent a pull request to
torvalds recently [1].

Maybe this thread is blocked by gmail? Or he didn't notice, that
this patchset involves input.git, since the subject is mainly about
LEDs? Have you tried contacting him directly, possibly without
referencing the thread?
