In the meantime I patched my patch to force the upload of the firmware 
from file,

static int lifeview_trio_request_firmware(struct dvb_frontend *fe,
                                           const struct firmware **fw, 
char *name)
{
        struct saa7134_dev *dev = fe->dvb->priv;
        return request_firmware(fw, name, &dev->pci->dev);
}

static struct tda1004x_config lifeview_trio_config = {
        .demod_address = 0x09,
        .invert        = 1,
        .invert_oclk   = 0,
        .xtal_freq     = TDA10046_XTAL_16M,
        .agc_config    = TDA10046_AGC_TDA827X,
        .if_freq       = TDA10046_FREQ_045,
        .pll_init      = philips_tiger_dvb_mode,
        .pll_set       = philips_tiger_pll_set_simple,
        .pll_sleep     = philips_tiger_analog_mode,
        .request_firmware = lifeview_trio_request_firmware,
};


ls -al /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-tda10046.fw
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 24602 gen 28 20:45 /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-tda10046.fw

Hartmutt, can you understand why this operation fails?
