firmware.txt states some naming policy regaring frontend firmwares:

------------------schnipp----------------------------------
The firmware.agent script expects firmware binaries in
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/. To avoid naming and versioning
conflicts we propose the following naming scheme:

  /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dvb-{driver}-{ver}.fw
for MPEG decoders etc.
  /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dvb-fe-{driver}-{ver}.fw
for frontends
------------------schnipp----------------------------------

But what's the firmware version of the binary dll? tda1004x.c says that 
currently v2.15a is supported.

So should the firmware be named "dvb-fe-tda1004x-2.15a.fw" ?

I'll fix that.

Indeed.
