Can we get a "Fixes" on this? It looks to me like it has been broken 
since 2a0c316bf3cc ("fix signedness bug in lm3630a_chip_init()").

Also I assume you find this by trying to use the driver on real 
hardware? If so can you confirm what you tested on in the patch 
description. As far as I can tell the code to set the filter strength 
has never worked, so you'll be the first user of it!

Can we expand this to REG_FILTER_STRENGTH?
