I have tried this patch, while it initially got MythTV working, there is
too many call backs and some failed to acquire the lock. The device
became unstable on both single and dual devices.
The callbacks
af9015_af9013_read_status,
af9015_af9013_init
af9015_af9013_sleep
had to be removed.
I take your point, a call back can be an alternative.
The patch didn't stop the firmware fails either.
The af9015 usb bridge on the whole is so unstable in its early stages,
especially on a cold boot and when the USB controller has another device
on it, such as card reader or wifi device.
I am, at the moment looking to see if the fails are due to interface 1
being claimed by HID.

Malcolm
