Why it does not report input data?

This looks like an (undocumented) hack or workaround. Not a solution.

So, this function returns 0 when detected ALPS trackpoint and -ENODEV
when not.

And here I'm lost. If we have *not* detected ALPS trackpoint then if
block is not called which means that ALPS driver is used.

So why is for non-ALPS trackpoints used ALPS driver? This does not seem
like a correct...

And when we have detected ALPS trackpoint (return value 0) then standard
mouse driver is used and returned -EINVAL. This seems strange too.

So either this code is wrong or there are missing more details for
explaining this strange logic. But still this looks like a hack not a
proper fix/solution.
