There was nothing wrong with patch submission. If you see something stuck please do not hesitate poking me.
A couple of questions about the patch below though:

It seems to me the logic is inverted, if there is resolution register the new code will query it directly, otherwise it will try to get it from the subpacket data. Is it intentional? Or did I parse it incorrectly?
[Marge 08/01]
Previously, we obtained this information by querying subpacket data. However, when the "Query DPM" feature is present, querying subpacket data may become unreliable, leading to inconsistencies in the pointing speed.
This also does not appear to be tied to the HID transport but rather generic RMI4 code. Did I miss the connection?
[Marge 08/01]
This change applies to generic RMI4 code and is not related to HID transport.

Why "BIT"? Should it be called RMI_F12_RESOLUTION_REG or similar?
[Marge 08/01]
The "QUERY DPM" feature is the 29th bit in the F12 2D QUERY Presence register.
By checking this bit, we can determine whether certain features are supported.
I will rename it from "RMI_QUERY_DPM_IN_PRESENCE_BIT" to "RMI_F12_QUERY_RESOLUTION_REG".

I am unsure what this comment means... We are in F12 code, so what does "only" mean here?
[Marge 08/01]
The main point is to emphasize the new approach that applies when the "query DPM" feature is present.
New comment:
Use the Query DPM feature when the "query resolution register" exists.
