build log

Linking fails with alps driver enabled, as follows:

drivers/input/mouse/alps.o: In function `trackpoint_detect':
alps.c:(.text+0x4ad0): multiple definition of `trackpoint_detect'
drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.o:psmouse-base.c:(.text+0x1480): first defined here

Enabling configuration option CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT fixes the build.

Configuration option CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ALPS should be changed to depend upon CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT.

    Input: psmouse - fix build error of multiple definition
   
    trackpoint_detect() should be static inline while
    CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT is not set, otherwise, we build fails:
   
    drivers/input/mouse/alps.o: In function `trackpoint_detect':
    alps.c:(.text+0x8e00): multiple definition of `trackpoint_detect'
    drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.o:psmouse-base.c:(.text+0x1b50): first defined here
