I got it working with one additional i2c write. By writing 0x48 into reg 0x5a before the initialization did the trick. Now when reloading the driver with modprobe - tuning works for all transponders. I spotted this from Windows usbsnoop traces which I took. I attached a patch of the modification which I did. Please note that this change is in ZL10353 code which is used by other cards as well - I don't know the affects of this change on those cards..
With this change, tzap does not report that good signal levels as before. Don't know the reason for this, but it doesn't seem to affect tuning performance. Windows driver uses 0x0c for 0x5a as well - so this should not be the reason.

Sami
