Hi Tino,

I had a quick look at the zl10036 datasheet and I can't see anything 
obviously wrong. The formulas look OK. There is one wrong assignment:

if (!priv->has_loopthrough) buf[0] |= 0x01;

and some wrong comments:

         buf[6] = 0xd3;   /*  6: from datasheet */
         buf[7] = 0x40;   /*  7: from datasheet */

but this shouldn't cause it not to work. I suspect this is some obscure 
writing order bug. The zl10038 datasheet does provide more info on 
registers 8-10 which might prove useful.
