Sure!

It's awesome that you're pointing out it all in the reviews because it's
important to have such things explained and definitely should help to
improve quality of further of patches! But it shouldn't be necessary to
demand a very minor changes, IMO.

In particular Jiada was submitting this and lots of other atmel_mxt_ts
patches for about a year now without much progress yet, and you probably
should know how a frustrating experience this could be for a contributor
since you're a longtime kernel developer.
