Hi Mr. Rohar,
I just read about your commit for kernel 4.5 ("Input: ALPS - detect
trackstick presence for v7 protocol"),
and was wondering if this is addressing a problem I have:
I recently replaced the touchpad of my ThinkPad S440 with the one from
the T450 (because of the dedicated trackstick buttons).
The touchpad is working fine (including the dedicated buttons), but the
trackstick doesn't work anymore.
I suspect this is because it is detected incorrectly as an "AlpsPS/2
ALPS DualPoint Stick" when it should be (and previously was detected
as) an "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" (checked with other S440 owner).
A friend replaced his T440 touchpad with a T450 touchpad from
synaptics, and his trackpoint is working fine.

Is your patch intended to solve this or should I open a bug ticket?
Thank you very much for your time!
