So want you really want to know is how to setup an automated process to
give you a special configuration?  That's totally different than compiling
the firmware into the driver.

You could just configure once, then use hg pull ; hg update to get the
latest source.  You should be able to build without re-configuring or even
re-compiling all the code that didn't change.

If you need some automated way to change the configuration.  I'd run make
allmodconfig first, then edit v4l/.config with sed/perl/whatever.  You
might be able to just use:
echo CONFIG_DVB_AV7110_FIRMWARE=y >> v4l/.config
echo CONFIG_DVB_AV7110_FIRMWARE_FILE="/firmware/file" >> v4l/.config

You might need to mantually run make_myconfig.pl after that.
