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.
