[pvrusb2] All Firmwares now hosted in linux-firmwares tarball!

Just a quick note, this tarball does not contain:

v4l-pvrusb2-24xxx-01.fw
v4l-pvrusb2-29xxx-01.fw

This tarball also includes duplicates of only some of the firmware files
from the ivtv-firmwares tarbal.


Looks to me like more of a mess now!

At first, I thought the tarball contained all the files for
pvrusb2/hvr-1950. :-/
