Sometimes on Dell Latitude laptops psmouse/alps driver receive invalid ALPS
protocol V3 packets with bit7 set in last byte. More often it can be reproduced
on Dell Latitude E6440 or E7440 with closed lid and pushing cover above touchpad.

If bit7 in last packet byte is set then it is not valid ALPS packet. I was told
that ALPS devices never send these packets. It is not know yet who send those
packets, it could be Dell EC, bug in BIOS and also bug in touchpad firmware...

With this patch alps driver does not process those invalid packets and drops it
with PSMOUSE_FULL_PACKET so psmouse driver does not enter to out of sync state.

This patch fix problem when psmouse driver still resetting ALPS device when
laptop lid is closed because of receiving invalid packets in out of sync state.

I wanted to apply it, but I would like some more data. Could you please
send me the dmesg with i8042.debug wit this patch in place?

Thanks!

Thank you Pali.

OK, so it looks like the problematic byte is the last one and we should
be resynching right away. With your other patch increasing number of bad
packets before issuing resync this special handling is no longer needed,
right?

Thanks.

Problem is that in this special case driver is still out-of-sync 
and cause problems. E.g there is big dmesg flood and it is not 
good to have that when LID is closed for a long time.
