Re: [PATCH 2/3] input: alps: For protocol V3, do not process data when last packet's bit7 is set

Sometimes laptops with closed lid receive invalid ALPS protocol V3 packets with
last bit7 set.

This happens on Dell Latitude laptops and it looks like it is BIOS bug. Probably
EC does not correctly split keyboard and touchpad PS/2 data and when laptop lid
is closed it adds 0xFF packet into touchpad PS/2 data.

When last packet's bit7 is set it is invalid ALPS packet. So Do not process it
and drop it with PSMOUSE_FULL_PACKET.

After testing it looks like this patch fixed problem with reseting mouse (after
series of invalid packets) when laptop lid is closed on Dell Latitude machines.

I wonder if this should not be PSMOUSE_BAD_DATA as a return value ? I realize that
with the 3th patch in place, that will cause an immediate reset, but if your theory is
right that this ff gets inserted from the keyboard ps/2 stream, then we actually want
a full reset as otherwise we will be out of sync then.

 	    psmouse->pktcnt >= 2 && psmouse->pktcnt <= psmouse->pktsize &&
