PATCH 1/1 FW_LOADER required in Kconfig for certain DVB frontend modules

I would have sent this to DVB maintener, if linuxtv.org wasn't down for the whole day and their SMTP wouldn't reject all emails for linuxtv.org domain. :((

Due to a change between 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 in certain DVB frontend modules, it is now required to have "Hotplug firmware loading support" selected in Kernel configuration (FW_LOADER in .config file).
