firmware_helper is part of the udev scripts, not ivtv. You might want to 
update your udev package. I installed firmware-helper from udev-092 on 
my system and it works fine.

Are you sure the file v4l-cx25840.fw is in /lib/firmware?

Even though firmware_helper complains the driver still loads 
v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw. What is the file size?

Note: the encoder firmware is old. Use the fw from here: 
http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/firmware.tar.gz

There really is something weird about your udev & firmware setup.
