Frankly, I do not quite like this series. The rule of thumb we had: if
we can use e7 data to identify the device it should go into table,
if we need to have more elaborate logic - then implement it in
__alps_indentify(). I would understand if we got rid of the table
completely, but we didn't.

I think the patch removing ALPS_PROTO_V4 and subsequent patch removing
command_mode_resp from alps_model_info are good, the rest are not so
much.

Thanks.

Hans and me agreed that alps_model_data array is for old touchpads
defined as quirks table. So in this patch series I'm trying to eliminate
using that array. And it is possible for V1, V4 and V6 touchpads because
each protocol has only one entry in table. And last user is just V2
protocol which is I think better...

So this is my motivation for this patch series.
