Hi Daniel,

Reading it again, I do have some more comments, actually.
> Could I get a review for the rest of the set? > There will actually be quite a few more patches that follow these.
I think that is part of the problem. What you want to achieve is all good, but something else is not quite right. Reading through these patches felt like a lot of work, although it should not really be that much. A closer look suggests the patches are on average 20% too large, the rest being irrelevant changes. That may look small, but apparently it is off-putting enough. The less work it is to accept your patches, the more likely they are to be processed quickly.
Please find brief notes below.
> > Daniel Kurtz (14): > > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - use CONFIG_PM_SLEEP
Seems to clash with current mainline.
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - only allow root to update firmware
OK.
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - refactor mxt_read/write_reg to take a length
The return value change should be split out in a separate patch, subject to stable as well. Also, there is no real benefit in changing the name from __mxt to mxt. It only makes the patch longer.
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - verify object size in mxt_write_object
OK, also stable material.
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - do not read extra (checksum) byte
OK.
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - dump each message on just 1 line
OK.
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - refactor mxt_object_show
Start of for loop does not need to change. The buf_end - buf is less clear than the existing PAGE_SIZE - count. The realloc feels clunky, could it not allocate the max size once instead?
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - optimize writing of object table entries
Seems the index variable could be kept, no real need to move the bject deklaration around, small things like that.
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - refactor get info
Why not keep mxt_get_info(), just using the smaller implementation? Why change the formatting of the debug messages?
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - simplify event reporting
Why change formatting of function, why reformat status initialization, why new name for pressure, why change the shift functions, why change the debug message.
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - cache T9 reportid range when reading object > > table
Why change touchevent() function name and arguments, why not reuse the reportid variables. Why reformat the object assignment. Aren't T9_reportid values zero already.
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - parse vector field of data packets
These could be deferred until they are actually used.
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - send all MT-B slots in one input report
OK.
> > Input: atmel_mxt_ts - parse T6 reports
Aren't T6_reportid values zero already.
Hope this helps.
