In the V2:
I added one more patch (0002) to fix the problem of condition checking
of 0x20~0x2f (apw found this problem in the v1)

Since the OEM-OSP1-B already merged 0001, it only needs to merge 0002
this time, for the rest of kernel version, need to merge 0001 and 0002.

[Impact]
On one of the latest Lenovo laptops, the trackpoint doesn't work, we
consulted apls guys, they said this trackpoint is different from others,
it is a trackpoint-only device, so the current alps.c doesn't support it
well, while the trackpoint.c can drive it well.

[Fix]
Check if it is trakcpoint-only device, if it yes, let trackpoint.c
handle it.

[Test Case]
apply this patch and boot with the kernel, the trackpoint can work
well.

[Regression Risk]
Low. the way of detect trackpoint-only alps device is provided by
alps. so it is pretty safe. and I have tested the patch on two
lenovo machines with alsp touchpad+trackpoint device, they worked
well.

Patches from a maintainer tree are sauce patches. With the commit
description fixed to reflect this:

Applied to eoan/master-next, with the subject changed to add "UBUNTU:
SAUCE:", thanks!

Patches are now upstream, so with updated sha1 reference:

Applied to Disco only, after updating the SHA references as Stefan said. Bug wasn't targeted for D so I targeted it.

Both patches were already present in Bionic via stable-updates, so marking the thread as applied to B as well.
