x86.git testing found the following build failure in 2.6.26-rc2:

  drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/fdump "/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dvb-ttpci-01.fw" dvb_ttpci_fw drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/av7110_firm.h
  firmware file '/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dvb-ttpci-01.fw' not found
  make[4]: *** [drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/av7110_firm.h] Error 255
  make[3]: *** [drivers/media/dvb/ttpci] Error 2

in this config:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Mon_May_12_11_29_29_CEST_2008.bad

the reason for the build bug is that the driver's Kconfig ignores the 
PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y config setting and tries to build the firmware 
which (like other firmware build methods) relies on a non-upstream 
firmware blob. The fix is to make the firmware build depend on 
!PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD.
