These files are included in the upstream linux-firmware git repo.

[jwboyer@lando linux-firmware]$ git log v4l-cx23418-*
commit a699eb6997f21d4fc88526754824e90417749db6
Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri Apr 3 07:33:20 2009 -0300

    Add firmwares for three Conexant chipsets for cx18, cx23885 and cx23840

    Add firmwares for those V4L/DVB devices:
        CX23418 PCI Broadcast A/V with MPEG encoder
        CX25843 sideport Broadcast A/V decoder
        CX23885 PCI Express Broadcast A/V decoder

    Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxx>


It would probably make a lot more sense just to get them included in
the Fedora linux-firmware package.
