Some code reviewers are just not qualified to review, just as some interviewers aren't.

Code reviewers are often not trained in what they should be looking for. Sometimes they are badly trained.

Ultimately this is a management problem. Record the time wasting back and forth and ask your management what they prefer. A skilled manager will separate your project from the reviewer and coach the reviewer in how to be an effective reviewer.

If management can't handle it, you could do what I did, let projects slide and interview around. Let them hold the bag.
