You're welcome.

After you've tested it and are happy the settings are good enough for
general user use, I can add a patch and issue a PULL request. I usually
issue a PULL request on Sunday nights. The v4l-dvb maintainer usually
gets to them within a week, unless he's really busy.

Drop the '_NO_RADIO' - no define exists with that name. Leave the "TCL
MNM05-4" string alone - don't add in the "F".
TUNER_PHILIPS_FM1236_MK3 is tuner type 43.
The cx18 driver is smart enough to know that tveeprom says there is no
FM radio. No need to worry about radio being turned on.
