Package: firmware-linux-nonfree
Version: 0.40~bpo70+1
Severity: normal

Hello there,

In recent kernels (since 3.7, I believe; see commit below), the xc5000 driver
lists two different firmware files it can make use of:

# uname -a
Linux debian 3.10-0.bpo.3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.10.11-1~bpo70+1 (2013-09-24)
x86_64 GNU/Linux

# modinfo xc5000
filename:
/lib/modules/3.10-0.bpo.3-amd64/kernel/drivers/media/tuners/xc5000.ko
firmware:       dvb-fe-xc5000c-4.1.30.7.fw
firmware:       dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw
....

However, the firmware-linux-nonfree package contains only dvb-fe-
xc5000-1.6.114.fw:

# dpkg-query -L firmware-linux-nonfree | grep dvb-fe-xc5000
/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw


Both firmware files are available from http://kernellabs.com/firmware/xc5000/,
and appear to be released under identical licenses (see also the relevant
commit
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/3de5bffddbf5fa9d04f3d181dadcaedc1efa0158).

Is it possible to please include dvb-fe-xc5000c-4.1.30.7.fw in firmware-linux-
nonfree?  I have a (relatively new) WinTV-HVR-950Q TV tuner device, and I have
discovered that having dvb-fe-xc5000c-4.1.30.7.fw in /lib/firmware is necessary
to make this device work.  When only dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw is present, the
xc5000 module loads that firmware without error, but the device does not work
(cannot tune or watch TV channels).

Thanks! :)
