Assuming you rename possible new firmware:

dvb-tuner-si2158-a20-02.fw ?
Basically, you would not like to rename firmware when it is updated if it is
compatible with the driver. Lets say firmware gets bug fixes, just introduce
new firmware with same name. If driver changes are needed, then you have to
rename it. These firmware changes are always problematic as you have to think
possible regression - it is regression from the user point of view if kernel
driver updates but it does not work as firmware incompatibility.
Indeed, I assumed whenever there's a firmware update, we create a new
filename for that. If that's not the case, then better to keep Si2148 and
Si2158 totally separate. At this point the files would be identical of
course.
How about Si2146 firmware you are working?
No firmware loaded for that.
