Go check out http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware
This page will tell you what you need to know. 4.1 introduced hotplug
for kernels that support it. With the hotplug mechanism, the location
for firmware is different. They have also changed some of the naming
conventions. I had to create the hotplug firmware directory on my
system. You will likely have to also. The web page above tells you how
to determine which directory hotplug is using.
Starting with 5.0 only hotplug will be supported. Also make sure to read
the release notes if going from 4.0 to 4.1 or higher since the interface
numbering has changed as well. Release notes are available on the
http://www.ivtvdriver.org page.
