No, I am the maintainer of this code and everything I needed to judge this patch was provided. This cover letter only included inter-version details and anything relevant for the kernel history is included in the patch itself. For any code I maintain inter-version details below the --- line or in a 0/1 cover letter are perfectly acceptable. Please, if the review feedback is arbitrary, as it is in this case, strongly consider not offering it.
