This patch adds detection of trackstick for v7 protocol devices. Code in this patch is used in official Dell touchpad linux drivers for Dell models: Dell Latitude E5250/5250, E5450/5450, E5550/5550 Detection code and base reg for alps v3 rushmore and v7 devices is exacly same. Also user in bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94801 reported that Toshiba Sattellite Z30-A-1DG has only alps v7 touchpad device without trackstick and kernel reports to userspace also redundant trackstick device. Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár <redacted>Looks good, but has this been tested on a laptop which actually has a v7 pad + trackstick? I would like to see this actually tested on at least one such laptop before it gets merged. Regards, HansI did not tested my patch on any v7 touchpad-only laptop.
Ah, but I'm not worried about testing on a touchpad-only laptop, we are already reporting a trackpoint there even though there is none. I'm worried about breaking existing v7 using laptops which actually have a trackstick. So if this is tested on a v7 laptop with trackstick, and it does not break the trackstick then that is good enough for me. Regards, Hans
