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.I wonder if Masaki might have devices with V7 and trackstick available and could test the patch for us? Thanks.
Masaki ping, do you have any V7 device with trackstick for testing? -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar@gmail.com
