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.

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.

I 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.

Hans
