In order to use Alpine Linux on the Framework Laptop, I needed to
recompile the kernel with the Intel Tiger Lake pinctrl driver enabled
by setting CONFIG_PINCTRL_TIGERLAKE=m in the kernel configuration.
Without it, the touchpad is not recognized and some media keys do not
function. It would be nice if this module was enabled upstream.

you should open an issue on https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues
so ncopa is (more likely to) see it and enable it on -lts

Just a note, you can compile only the module, that's how I've solved
issue with missing driver for my wifi card. The archlinux wiki has a
solid guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Compile_kernel_module

At least to me that seems like easier option.
