Subject: Input: alps - only Dell laptops have separate button bits for v2 dualpoint sticks

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>

commit 073e570d7c2caae9910a993d56f340be4548a4a8 upstream.

It turns out that only Dell laptops have the separate button bits for
v2 dualpoint sticks and that commit 92bac83dd79e ("Input: alps - non
interleaved V2 dualpoint has separate stick button bits") causes
regressions on Toshiba laptops.

This commit adds a check for Dell laptops to the code for handling these
extra button bits, fixing this regression.

This patch has been tested on a Dell Latitude D620 to make sure that it
does not reintroduce the original problem.
