They say exactly what you already stated yourself:
- ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-02-16 15:45 they have very evil code there; it's not allowed to read files from kernel space like that, they should use request_firmware interface
So it looks like we won't get a usable tda1004x in FC2 until request_firmware is used.
Best regards.

Use a clean and unpatched kernel from http://www.kernel.org/ instead of the version of your distributor.
Or port the code to the request_firmware() stuff and post a patch. Keep in mind that this makes the code unportable to older kernels then - they might be required in case you are bound to a special kernel version because you need a realtime kernel or are working on an embedded platform where the latest'n'greatest kernel is not yet available.
