If firmware versions are vendor-specific, then the patch "cx25840: fix
determining the  firmware name" doesn't work, since people may have two boards
with the same silicon from different vendors, each requiring his own
vendor-specific firmware.

The solution seems to have a setup parameter with the firmware name, adding the
firmware name at the *-cards.c, like what's done with xc3028 firmwares. This
also means that we need vendor's rights to distribute the specific firmwares.
