The Si2157 (A30) is functional with the ROM firmware 3.0.5, but can also be patched at runtime, e.g. to firmware 3.1.3. However, although a firmware filename for its firmware patch exists, that has only been used for the Si2177 (A30) so far (which indeed takes the binary identical firmware patch). Add support for downloading firmware patches into the Si2157 (A30), but make it optional, so that initialization can succeed with and without a firmware patch being available. Keep the use of request_firmware() for this purpose rather than firmware_request_nowarn(), so that the warning in the log makes users aware that it is possible to provide a firmware for this tuner. The firmware patch is probably also optional for other (if not all) tuners supported by the driver, but since I do not have the others available to test, they are kept mandatory for now to avoid regressions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
