As described in a bug, the TouchPad in the Dell Latitude E7470 cannot be configured (there are no dedicated options for the TouchPad available), and while two-finger scrolling works fine, the middle mouse button, for example, cannot be used for scrolling together with the track point.

How can this situation be resolved, i.e., what drivers help in this situation?

Well, the Latitude E7470 touchpad driver sucks. At least, you can set up mid button scrolling as I confirmed at Settings for Glidepoint touchpad/trackpoint on Dell Latitude.
