On some v7 devices (e.g. Lenovo-E550) the deltas reported are typically
only in the 0-1 range dividing this by 2 results in a range of 0-0.
And even for v7 devices where this does not lead to making the trackstick
entirely unusable, it makes it twice as slow as before we added v7 support
and were using the ps/2 mouse emulation of the dual point setup.
If some kind of generic slowdown is actually necessary for some devices,
then that belongs in userspace, not in the kernel.

On v7 touchpads sometimes when 2 fingers are moved down on the touchpad
until they "fall of" the touchpad, the second touch will report 0 for y
(max y really since the y axis is inverted) and max x as coordinates,
rather then reporting 0, 0 as is expected for a non touching finger.
This commit detects this and treats these touches as non touching.

Now that the generic process_bitmap function has been improved to offer
accurate coordinates for the first touch we can use it for v5 (dolphin)
touchpads too.
Besides being a nice code cleanup this also fixes the saw tooth pattern
in the coordinates for the second touch the dolphin specific version had.

All alps semi-mt touchpads give us the following data when 2 (or more)
fingers are touching: 1 more or less accurate touch for the first finger
down, and a bitmap with columns and rows in which 1 or more fingers are
seen resulting in a crude (low res) bounding box.
So far for v3, rushmore and v4 touchpads we've been reporting the
coordinates of 2 opposite corners of the box when 2 fingers are touching.
Ignoring the much better resolution data given in the normal position
packet.
This commit actually uses this data for the first touch, figures out which
corner of the bounding box is closest to the first touch, and reports the
coordinates of the opposite corner for the second touch, resulting in
much better data for the first touch and for the single touch
pointer-emulation events.
This approach is similar to the one in alps_process_bitmap_dolphin, that
function takes the single accurate touch info, calculates the distance to
the center of the bounding box, and then puts the 2nd touch mirrored to
the center. The downside of that approach is that if both touches move
slowly in the same direction, the bounding box will stay the same for a
while (as it is low res) and the second touch will thus been seen moving
in the opposite direction until the bounding box actually changes, and
then the second touch snaps to its new position resulting in a saw tooth
pattern in the coordinates for the second touch, hence this new approach.
This commit fixes 2 finger scrolling being choppy / jumpy on these
touchpads.

We should decode the position packet before the packet with the bitmap

Pinnacle / Rushmore packets contain either position info, or bitmap info,
never both. So far we've in essence been storing garbage in the position /
bitmap fields of the fields struct when decoding a bitmap / pos packet.
We've been relying on the following sequence to get away with this:
1) Decode bitmap packet
2) Process bitmap packet
3) Decode position packet
4) Use position / button info
This patch allows us to change this sequence, which will allow using the
position info when processing the bitmap for more accurate results.

Change alps_decode_rushmore to do all decoding itself, rather then relying
on alps_decode_pinnacle and then overriding some fields + or-ing in some
bits.
This is a preparation patch for modifying the decode functions to properly
differentiate between position and bitmap packets.

Non interleaved V2 dualpoint touchpad / stick combos have separate stick
button bits in the touchpad packets, if we do not check these then the
trackpoint buttons will not work when using the touchpad, and when pressed
when the user starts using the touchpad will report a release event even
though the button is still pressed.
This commit fixes this by checking the separate bits, note that we simply
combine the buttons, since the hardware does the same when using the touchpad
buttons with the trackpoint, so we do not have enough information to properly
separate them.

When the left touchpad button gets pressed, and then the trackpoint is
moved, and then the button is released, the following happens:
1) touchpad packet is received, touchpad evdev node reports BTN_LEFT 1
2) pointing stick packet is received, the hw will report a BTN_LEFT 1 in
this packet because when the trackstick is active it communicates the
combined touchpad + pointing stick buttons in the trackstick packet,
since alps_report_bare_ps2_packet passes NULL (*) for the dev2 parameter
to alps_report_buttons the combining is not detected and the
pointing stick evdev node will also report BTN_LEFT 1
3) on release of the button a pointing stick packet with BTN_LEFT 0 is
received and the pointing stick evdev node will report BTN_LEFT 0
Note how because of the passing as NULL for dev2 the touchpad evdev node
will never send BTN_LEFT 0 in this scenario leading to a stuck mouse button.
This is a regression in 4.0 introduced by commit 04aae283ba
("Input: ALPS - do not mix trackstick and external PS/2 mouse data")
This commit fixes this by passing in the touchpad evdev as dev2 parameter
when calling alps_report_buttons for the pointingstick on alps v2 devices,
so that alps_report_buttons correctly detect that we're already reporting
the button as pressed via the touchpad evdev node, and will also send the
release event there.

On V2 devices the DualPoint Stick reports bare packets, these should be
reported via the "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick" dev2 evdev node, which also
has the INPUT_PROP_POINTING_STICK propbit set.
Note that since there is no way to distinguish these packets from an external
PS/2 mouse (insofar as these laptops have an external PS/2 port) this means
that we will be reporting PS/2 mouse events via this evdev node too, as we've
been doing in kernel 3.19 and older.
This has been tested on a Dell Latitude D620 and a Dell Latitude E6400,
which both have a V2 touchpad + a DualPoint Stick which reports bare packets.

Bare packets should be reported via the same evdev device independent on
whether they are detected on the beginning of a packet or in the middle
of a packet.
This has been tested on a Dell Latitude E6400, where the DualPoint Stick
reports bare packets, which get reported via dev3 when the touchpad is
idle, and via dev2 when the touchpad and stick are used simultaneously.
This commit fixes this inconsistency by always reporting bare packets via
dev3. Note that since the come from a DualPoint Stick they really should be
reported via dev2, this gets fixed in a later commit.

Previously dev2 device was used for both external PS/2 mouse and internal
trackstick device (if available). This change introduces dev3 device which
is used for external PS/2 mouse data and dev2 is now used only for
trackstick.
In case that trackstick is not present dev2 is not created, so userspace
does not see non existent device in system.
Because laptops with ALPS devices often do not use i8042 active
multiplexing all data (from touchpad, trackstick and external PS/2 mouse)
come to one port. So it is not possible to know if external PS/2 mouse is
connected or not. In most cases external PS/2 mouse is not connected so
driver will create dev3 input device after first bare PS/2 packet will be
received. So there will not be "ghost" input device.
This change also helps in identifying possible problems in future if driver
decides to report 6-bytes trackstick packets as 3-bytes bare PS/2 (data
will be reported to dev3 instead dev2).

On some Dell Latitudes we fail to identify presence of trackstick unless we
reset the device. The issue is quite benign as we do perform reset in
alps_init(), so the trackstick ends up working, but mouse name reported to
userspace is not accurate.
In order to fix the issue while avoiding the additional lengthy reset we
move the resrt to alps_detect() and keep the discovered state to be used
later in alps_init().
