What does this fix? Shouldn't it have a Fixes tag? (Yes, I know that
you answered in the other email, but here is a hint: before settling
these kinds of things do not send a new version. Instead of speeding
up the review you are closer to the chance to have this been not
applied for v5.14 at all)

It's strange to see this big range of minimum and maximum sleep.
Usually the ratio should not be bigger than ~3-4 between the values.

GENMASK() ?
Actually it seems it deserves a special definition like

..._ALL_PIN_MASK  GENMASK(15, 0)
