I think, we should go for a better way. Thanks Pekka for hints, I ended
up with the patch in the attachment. Could you try it whether it works
for you?

I have 2 dvb-t receivers and both of them need fullspeed quirk. Further
disable_rc_polling (a dvb_usb module parameter) must be set to not get
doubled characters now. And then, it works like a charm.

Note that, it's just some kind of proof of concept. A migration of
af9015 devices from dvb-usb-remote needs to be done first.

Ideas, comments?
