Ok. It sounds that the issues you're facing are indeed related to timing
conditions.

Returning 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, ... usually means that the tuner chip didn't
respond in time.

This could indicate:

1) The device requires more time to go to sane state after firmware
   load and/or device reset/power up;

2) Tuner may be using I2C clock stretching, but the bridge doesn't
   support it.

3) The clock used at the I2C bus is still too high;

4) The tuner is hidden by an I2C gate. 


I think that using the standard I2C bus clock of 100kbps should be
enough.

I2C clock stretching seems to be unlikely for a command that it is
just getting the device's version.

What seems more likely is that this device may need some time after
firmware load to start working.

So, I would add a msleep() somewhere after the firmware update.

Thanks,
Mauro
