This message represents my annoyance with low quality submissions from
Qualcomm, which needs multiple iterations and often apply tag, then
change significantly thus drop the tag or completely ignore the review
tag. And I review again.. and tag is dropped again because patch was
again seriously reworked. Or even without serious rework - Qualcomm
authors drop the tags, just "because".
~2 months ago simple patch from Qualcomm required three involvements
from DT maintainers, because even trivial patch was being continuously
changed and author was dropping or ignoring review tags.

Solution for me could be to ignore Qualcomm patches till they reach some
sort of maturity.
I am not planning to review this patch, because:
1. I already reviewed it, so not really necessary, but even if I wanted:
2. It is gone from my inbox...
