For IMX327, I have revision E17Z06B93 2019/03/25.

The revision control section for Rev0.3 lists
Page 1: "Correction: Max analog gain 27dB - 29.4dB"
Page 74: "Correction: Max Gain 69dB -> 71.4dB"

The graph in "Gain Adjustment Function" (page 74) also shows values
above 27dB as being purely analogue gain. Certainly 0x62 is red for
analogue, which would be a gain of 29.4dB. The next dot is 0x64 (30dB)
and blue, so we have to trust the text for 0x63 being 29.4dB analogue
and 0.3dB digital gain.

So I'm happy that the limit is 29.4dB.
