This is definitely a bug which isn't fixed for nine years.
Why this patch isn't applied to the input sub-system (or mainline)?

ALPS touchpad detection fails if some buttons of ALPS are pressed.
The reason is that the "E6" query response byte is different from

All ALPS touchpads should respond to the "E6 report" command sequence:

If the E6 report is successful, the touchpad model is identified using the "E7
