I started handling your patch and have some comments / questions:
The part handling the DSP access errors is most probably right.
but what do you intend with the other changes:
- according the the board config stucture,
  gpio 21 is used to switch the AGC between TV and radio mode. This
  normally is just an analog multiplexer. Toggling this during initialization
  makes no sense unless there is a side effect.
- what are the changes in tuner-core.c good for?

Best regards
