Input: alps - ignore bad data on Dell Latitudes E6440 and E7440 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, but instead of reporting PSMOUSE_BAD_DATA, getting into out of sync state, getting back in sync with the next byte and spam dmesg we return PSMOUSE_FULL_PACKET. If driver is truly out of sync we'll fail the checks on the next byte and report PSMOUSE_BAD_DATA then.
