Subject: [PATCH 20/53] Input: atmel_mxt_ts - Add check for incorrect firmware file format

Atmel supplies firmware files in ASCII HEX format (.enc) which must be
converted before they can be loaded by kernel driver. Try to detect the error
and print a friendly error message rather than feeding junk to the bootloader.
