Good kernel modules *should* export needed firmwares as module
parameters. You *should* then be able to query it with modinfo:
modinfo <module> -F firmware
Note however that *lots* of modules (especially DVB, in my experience)
don't properly set those parameters and you're left grepping the source
code or dmesg to find which firmware you'll need...
