Otherwise, we can specify tilt resolution to be, say, 573 and multiply values by 10 in the kernel to raise the precision. Or 917 and shift by 4 for extra neatness :) > Instead, I'd change the comment to note that this is for > backwards-compatibility with kernel drivers which don't follow use the > proper semantics.
