4.95.0 from
http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/,
and is placed in /lib/firmware. (should it be in lib64/firmware
instead/aswell, or somewhere else?) the datestamp of the 4.95.0 (2007) does
imply the patch i've found is not included (patch seems to be around 2010
era)
