The file contains a spelling error in a source comment (formating).

Typos in comments reduce readability and make text searches less reliable
for developers and maintainers.

Replace 'formating' with 'formatting' in the affected comment. This is a
comment-only cleanup and does not change behavior.

I inadvertently added Fixes: and Cc: stable tags.  If possible, please 
remove them as they are not appropriate for fixes to misspellings in 
code comments.  If it's not possible to remove them, I can send a v2.

Sorry I did not receive the original patch but even with the typo fixed
this comment needs more work to improve readability.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback, Dmitry!

Would you like just improved readability for that line, or would you 
like me to add some additional info on the definitions?

How about something like this:

-/* Finger-sensing Pad packet formating related definitions */
+/* Finger Sensing Pad packet format definitions.
+ * Define packet types and bit fields used to decode device reports.
+ */

If that looks good, I'll send a v2.
