[GIT PULL for v3.17] si2165 firmware changes

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

Hi Linus,

Please pull from:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media tags/media/topic/si2165-v3.17-rc8

For some changes at the si2165 firmware name and the removal of an extra
unneeded header added artificially via the script that extracts it from
the original driver provided by the manufacturer.

The si2165 is a new driver that was added for v3.17. There are two issues
with the current firmware format:

- The firmware only covers one specific revision of the chipset
  (Rev. D). We'll be adding support for another revision for v3.18, so
  it would be better to rename the firmware file to reflect the revision
  on its name:

	-#define SI2165_FIRMWARE "dvb-demod-si2165.fw"
	+#define SI2165_FIRMWARE_REV_D "dvb-demod-si2165-d.fw"

- Instead of containing a single blob with the firmware, the file
  also contains some meta-data that could be determined on some other way
  directly by the driver.

The script that gets the firmware from the Internet was also updated
accordingly to not add the extra header.

Thanks!
Mauro
