Subject: 答复: 答复: [PATCH] input: alps-fix the issue the special alps trackpoint do not work.
Hi Pali,
Why it does not report input data?
--> The alps devices which detected to use the ALPS_PROTO_V8 contains ALPS touchpad and ALPS track point.
But the ALPS_PROTO_V8 do not support the track point device process.
When the track point was detected to use ALPS_PROTO_V8 ,the v8 process_packet method alps_process_packet_ss4_v2 will reject to report the data because the v8 device is not set the ALPS_DUALPOINT flag.
You can refer below code.
/* Report trackstick */
if (alps_get_pkt_id_ss4_v2(packet) == SS4_PACKET_ID_STICK) {
if (!(priv->flags & ALPS_DUALPOINT)) {
psmouse_warn(psmouse,
"Rejected trackstick packet from non DualPoint device");
return;
}
...
return;
}
why is for non-ALPS trackpoints used ALPS driver?
--> the non-Alps track point is the ALPS touchpad, it is right to use the ALPS driver for ALPS touchpad.
The v8 protocol condition may modified as below, it will be more easier to understand.
if (e7[0] == 0x73 && e7[1] == 0x03 && (e7[2] == 0x14 || e7[2] == 0x28) && (alps_check_is_trackpoint(psmouse) != 0) ) {
protocol = &alps_v8_protocol_data;
}
Best Regards

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.
