You may describe the algo in the comment.

Let's see how it might look like

  if (uhz)
    return -EINVAL;
  idx = __ffs(val);
  /* We're expecting value to be 2^n * ODR_MIN_WHOLE_HZ */
  if ((val >> idx) != BMA400_ACC_ODR_MIN_WHOLE_HZ)
    retutn -EINVAL;
  idx += BMA400_ACC_ODR_MIN_RAW + 1;

Would it work?
