Hi,
I have a few minor comments -- as in the past, I'd like to ask for
improved changelogs, so that they are up to our kernel standards. As you
are a regular contributor, it's time to start getting things right :)
Namely:
- please be generally more verbose / detailed in your changelogs
- explain not only what changes are being done, but also why they are
being done (what is the motivation). As an example, patch #1 has this:
-To support Alps T4 device, clean up the source code
-Delete unnecessary structure
Please briefly document the cleanups, and also document which structure
is being removed and why it is redundant
- you can drop the repeating "Minor changes in hid-alps.c for support new
Alps device" prefix for the patche subjects, as it doesn't really
provide any extra information
- pathces #4 and #5 do quite a substantial changes to the code, it'd be
nice to describe in a few sentnces what are the changes (what are the
specifics of the new protocol, etc)
Thanks a lot!
