+SUMMARY = "Workaround to skip the sysfs firmware fallback of the atmel maxTouch at boot up"
+# The current version of the atmel_mxt_ts driver tries to load a controller configuration
+# on each driver probe. However, if no config is provided or can't be provided because
+# the driver is build in, the driver probing process is delayed by 60 seconds because
+# of a sysfs firmware load fallback. To shorten this delay, this recipe adds a udev rule
+# that cancels the sysfs firmware fallback.
