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.
