Base in congruency

Let p = 2017 p = 2017 be a prime and F p \mathbb F_p be the integers modulo p p . A function f : Z F p f : \mathbb Z \to \mathbb F_p is called good if there is α F p \alpha \in \mathbb F_p with p α p\nmid \alpha such that

f ( x ) f ( y ) = f ( x + y ) + α y f ( x y ) ( m o d p ) \large\ f(x)f(y) = f(x + y) + {\alpha}^{y}f(x - y)\pmod p

for all x , y Z x, y \in \mathbb Z . How many good functions are there that are periodic with minimal period 2016 2016 ?
