Sorry, I must have missed this on my last time through the patch queue.  I 
see you've decimalized the fiper and max-adj properties, which is good... but 
does it really make sense for tmr-add?  I'm not familiar with what this value 
represents, but the numbers look more natural as hex (e.g. 0xaaaaaaab versus 
2863311531).

And here, you're changing the value of fsl,tmr-add and fsl,max-adj.  Why?
