Hi Hans,
I also have an AF9035 based device, the Asus 3100 Mini Plus. It has an
AF9035B demodulator and uses an FCI2580 tuner. I've used the driver
supplied by afa in the past, but haven't tested it in the last few
months. I have a git repository for that driver at
http://git.schinagl.nl/AF903x_SRC.git (it is also linked from
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Asus_U3100_Mini_plus_DVB-T).
So when you say it is also coupled with the same tuner, that's not true
:) With that driver there where a bunch of other tuners that are used
with this chip. I think the Asus EEEPC supported a USB dvb tuner at some
point and there are reverences in that code for it.
As of the legality of the code, that is uncertain. The module (compiled
from all these sources) is very specifically marked as GPL. Most
headers/source files have no copyright notice at all, some however do,
but no license in it.
I asked about afa-tech and there driver status a while ago, but I guess
there is no news as of yet?
To summarize, I would love to test your driver, and I think i can code
something up for my tuner, once these are split?

I have written a driver for the AF9035& AF9033 (called af903x), based on the
various drivers and information floating around for these chips.
Currently, my driver only supports the devices that I am able to test. These
are
- Terratec T5 Ver.2 (also known as T6)
- Avermedia Volar HD Nano (A867)
The driver supports:
- diversity and dual tuner (when the first frontend is used, it is in diversity
mode, when two frontends are used in dual tuner mode)
- multiple devices
- pid filtering
- remote control in NEC and RC-6 mode (currently not switchable, but depending
on device)
- support for kernel 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 series
I have not tried to split the driver in a DVB-T receiver (af9035) and a
frontend (af9033), because I do not see the sense in doing that for a
demodulator, that seems to be always used in combination with the very same
receiver.
The patch is split in three parts:
Patch 1: support for tuner fitipower FC0012
Patch 2: basic driver
Patch 3: firmware
