i have added comment #9
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211055
we need v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw
and v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw

i not packaged in linux-firmaware
but removed by ivtv-firware now obsolete

package ivtv-utils was providing v4l2-ctl application
v4l2-ctl application is now provided by v4l-utils
