It may well change so bbest to check it.

I agree.  We don't want to do it in a fast path as it 'probably' won't
change after the initial boot is done without some deliberate intervention
but fine to read it whenever we are dealing with anything other than
reading the ADC value (so reading the scale or similar).

Not totally sure what I was going on about here..
I think I was just raising that you should use 1000*val + val2/1000 to do
the rounding with the decimal part taken into account.
