Subject: [PATCH 4.19 039/118] HID: alps: allow incoming reports when only the trackstick is opened

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 7dd8db68949a7acc5bd528ee0ecb8f8720f49921 ]

If userspace only reads the trackstick node, and no one is listening to
the touchpad nor the hidraw node then, the device is not powered on.

Add open/close callbacks to allow users to disable the touchpad in Gnome
while keeping the trackstick active.
