Frankly, I do not quite like this series. The rule of thumb we had: if
we can use e7 data to identify the device it should go into table,
if we need to have more elaborate logic - then implement it in
__alps_indentify(). I would understand if we got rid of the table
completely, but we didn't.

I think the patch removing ALPS_PROTO_V4 and subsequent patch removing
command_mode_resp from alps_model_info are good, the rest are not so
much.

Thanks.
