The needed firmware files for those cards were merged a long time ago into
linux-firmware git tree. It seems, however, that those patches got excluded
there:

$ rpm -q linux-firmware -l|grep v4l
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx231xx-avcore-01.fw
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-enc.fw

IMO, the best thing to do here is to just drop this package and make sure
that the needed firmwares are provided by linux-firmware:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 v4l v4l   16382 Ago 10  2012 v4l-cx231xx-avcore-01.fw
-rw-rw-r-- 1 v4l v4l  141200 Ago 10  2012 v4l-cx23418-apu.fw
-rw-rw-r-- 1 v4l v4l  158332 Ago 10  2012 v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw
-rw-rw-r-- 1 v4l v4l   16382 Ago 10  2012 v4l-cx23418-dig.fw
-rw-rw-r-- 1 v4l v4l   16382 Ago 10  2012 v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw
-rw-rw-r-- 1 v4l v4l   16382 Ago 10  2012 v4l-cx25840.fw

Btw, it should be noticed that cx231xx/cx23885 devices require a
firmware there (v4l-cx23885-enc.fw). This firmware is wrong at
linux-firmware tree, and got removed by a recent changeset
(c11f374, at linux-firmware git tree). We're working with Conexant in 
order to replace it soon with a new firmware for it.

> * ivtv-utils -- Tools for the iTVC15/16 and CX23415/16 driver

AFAIKT, this is legacy stuff. Everything needed on userspace for ivtv is
now provided by v4l-utils package.
