Hello all,
I've got the misfortune of maintaining a small number of systems that use
the cx18 driver for their HVR-1600 cards; I'm just in the process of
bringing these systems up to Fedora 21, and have discovered that
cx18-firmware was retired.
As I'm going to have to maintain the package for work purposes, I'm
volunteering to maintain it in Fedora for F21 and later. If anyone's
interested in having it available in Fedora, the review request is at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1203379
These files are included in the upstream linux-firmware git repo.

Add firmwares for three Conexant chipsets for cx18, cx23885 and cx23840
Add firmwares for those V4L/DVB devices:
CX23418 PCI Broadcast A/V with MPEG encoder
CX25843 sideport Broadcast A/V decoder
CX23885 PCI Express Broadcast A/V decoder

It would probably make a lot more sense just to get them included in
the Fedora linux-firmware package.
