only get mono.
Since loading the firmware is often problematic when the driver is
compiled into the kernel I recommend postponing calling this function
until the first open of the video device. Another reason for
postponing it is that loading this firmware takes a long time (seconds)
due to the slow i2c bus speed. So it will speed up the boot process if
you can avoid loading the fw as long as the video device isn't used. */
