Hi Andrej,

Firmware file loadind for mXT336U controller takes too much time (~60s).
There is no check that configuration is the same which is already present.
This happens always during boot, which makes touchscreen unusable.

Add there an option to prevent firmware file loading, but keep it enabled
by default.
Automatically updating firmware and config on driver probe was a
mistake, and I am planning on removing the code altogether and expect
userspace to determine if flashing is needed and request it explicitly,
so this option is not really needed.

Thanks.
