The calculation was just changed to use new defaults in a previous
patch. This patch makes it quite clear that the coefficients
are implementation (?) dependent. So the previous patch just changes
the defaults to (presumably) the coefficients used in your system.
That is inappropriate. Adding non-default corefficients is ok
and makes sense is supported by the chip, but changing defaults
isn't.
