If you're changing a line of code and you fix a white space issue on
that same line, then that's fine.  If it's just in the same function,
then do it in a separate patch.  In other words, adding tabs when you're
moving around macros is fine, but adding it to the arguments is
unrelated.

This patch was honestly pretty tricky to review.

Jonathan assumes reviewers have the datasheet in front of them and I
assume that that they don't.  He's probably right...  But especially
comments like this:

		*val2 = 220000; /* 1.22 mV */

They seem really helpful to me.
