Hi! alps_model_data table is used for fixed identification of v1 and v2
protocols. Why you need to add there v8 protocol which autodetection is
already done in alps_identify() function? There is already code:

		} else if (e7[0] == 0x73 && e7[1] == 0x03 &&
			   (e7[2] == 0x14 || e7[2] == 0x28)) {
			protocol = &alps_v8_protocol_data;

Which matches above your E7 detection 0x73, 0x03, 0x28.

Also you patch matches basically all v8 device and therefore has
potential to break proper v8 autodetection for other v8 devices...
