Dear maintainers.

I've recently bought a dvb usb stick that is identified as a Siano Rio
Digital Receiver and it needs the firwmare dvb_rio.inp to work.

I was wondering if could it be possible to include this file in the
firmware-siano package?

The file is available in:
https://github.com/OpenELEC/dvb-firmware/blob/master/firmware/dvb_rio.inp

And what I think it's the license is available in:
https://github.com/OpenELEC/dvb-firmware/blob/master/firmware/LICENCE.siano

The device works fine with this firmware.
(Tested on Debian stable; Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian
3.16.7-ckt25-2 (2016-04-08) i686 GNU/Linux)

I live in Europe where the DVB-T system is used.
I only need to change the default mode of the driver adding a config file
named smsmdtv.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/ with the line:

options smsmdtv default_mode=4

What if I'm not wrong enables DEVICE_MODE_DVBT_BDA as the default mode.
(Referenced by the kernel sources in:
/linux-4.7/drivers/media/common/siano/smscoreapi.h)
(Not sure if DEVICE_MODE_DVBT_BDA comes from Broadcast Driver Architecture
but with the default DEVICE_MODE_DVBT does not work.)

Thanks in advance.
Eugeni.
