Adding a linux task. Most of the firmware links are now completely
missing.

Particularly for this report, these messages come from the smsusb
module, but this does not have any firmware links:

$ modinfo -F firmware smsusb
$

It should link to sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw, as it's trying to load
that.

Firmware like "dvb-usb-dtt200u-01.fw" certainly belongs to dvb-usb-
dtt200u.ko, but again there is no link at all. The only two DVB modules
which still have fw links are dvb-usb-dib0700.ko and dvb-usb-dw2102.ko,
all others are missing.

Also, we seem to have some obsolete firmware files: e. g.  "dvb-usb-
dib0700-1.10.fw" certainly belongs to dvb-usb-dib0700.ko, but that links
to dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw now. Also there are quite a lot of firmware
files which don't seem to belong to any module any more.

Bug description:
  Today I tried my Hauppauge Ministick DVB-T tuner (2040:c000) with
  Kaffeine, but it didn't recognized it. Lookig at /var/log/dmesg I saw
  these lines:

  I looked for some additional driver in software-properties, but I only
  saw the additional drivers for my Graphic Video Card and my wifi card,
  and nothing about the tv tuner

  So i tried to install linux-firmware-nonfree, and then it started to
  work.

  I think we should add this tuner to the list in software-properties,
  shouldn't we? If not the fact it doesn't work when plugging it in and
  doesn't notify you the need to install some additional software may be
  confusing for a normal user
