Subject: [PATCH] [media] get_dvb_firmware: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

 Continuing my work started at 93431e0607e5 with unmaintained stuff according to:
 perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit{,-fallback} --nol

 See also: git log --oneline '--author=Alexander A. Klimov <grandmaster@...klimov.de>' v5.7..master
 (Actually letting a shell for loop submit all this stuff for me.)

 If there are any URLs to be removed completely
 or at least not (just) HTTPSified:
 Just clearly say so and I'll *undo my change*.

 If you apply the patch, please let me know.
