- The issue is that Thinkpad L570 TrackStick does not work. Because the main interface of Thinkpad L570 device is SMBus, so ALPS overlooked PS2 interface Firmware setting of TrackStick. The detail is that TrackStick otp bit is disabled.
- Add the code that checks 0xD7 address value. This value is device number information, so we can identify the device by checking this value.
- If we check 0xD7 value, we need to enable Command mode and after check the value we need to disable Command mode, then we have to enable the device(0xF4 command).
- Thinkpad L570 device number is 0x0C or 0x1D. If it is TRUE, enable ALPS_DUALPOINT flag.

So, the root of this problem is in ALPS firmware which provides wrong
information to kernel?

Masaki, I have two questions:

1) Can ALPS or Lenovo release a new firmware update for this Thinkpad to
   fix this issue?

2) Have all Thinkpad L570 machines trackpoint?

Dmitry, as a workaround for firmware bug on particular notebook, would
not be better to check DMI information and DMI based hook?

Hi, Pali,

1) Yes, but we don't have FW update plan.
 And this device works as SMBus in Windows, so this issue happens on only Linux.

2) Yes.

Masaki Ota

This fixes trackstick and physical left/middle/right mouse buttons
above touchpad on Lenovo ThinkPad E570p laptop for me.

Is it custom protocol over SMBus/I2C or HID (via i2c-hid)? If it is
custom protocol, can we add the proper driver to the kernel for it so we
can get away from the PS/2 emulation in firmware?

Thanks!

Should we execute this sequence only if is_dual is false above?

Hi, Domitry,

I think we can add the code to HID for this device, but we will not use SMBus interface for Touchpad in the future.
We should not do it.

Masaki: About firmware update, there is Linux Vendor Firmware Service
project at https://fwupd.org/ exactly for purpose to update firmwares
from Linux distributions. Maintainer of this project, Richard Hughes
(CCed), is more times willing to write support for new devices. So
maybe this can be a solution for future.
