I am OK with moving ALPS_PROTO_V4 out of the alps_model_data table because it needs not only e7 response data, but also ec data, so moving this protocol out of alps_model_data and writing custom comparison also allows us to drop command_mode_resp field from alps_model_info structure. ALPS_PROTO_V1 and ALPS_PROTO_V6, just like ALPS_PROTO_V2, only need e7 response data. That is why I do not see the benefit of removing them form the alps_model_data table and open-coding the comparison. I hope this clears my position. Thanks. -- Dmitry
