One note: I have tested the tda18271 signedness fixes in the debug
repository. This is a big improvement in reception.

Based on the latest testing with all the fixes I would say that
switching the AGC line via gpio is not needed and leaving it at 0 gives
the best results.
(This is purely based on SNR and BER readings from tzap)

So I would recomend: leaving config at zero.

 static struct tda18271_config zolid_tda18271_config = {
        .std_map = &zolid_tda18271_std_map,
        .gate    = TDA18271_GATE_ANALOG,
-       .config  = 3,
+//     .config  = 3,
        .output_opt = TDA18271_OUTPUT_LT_OFF,
 };

Regards,
Henk
