Ah - serves me right for not reading on before commenting on the previous
patch.  It would have been preferable to have merged at least some of this
in there as they needed to be read together.

One comment in here doesn't quite cover everything I think should
be explained.

Please fix that and merge this down with the previous patch
(interactive rebase and marking it as a fixup makes this easy).

Thanks,

Jonathan

Not miligrams. Milli g where 1 g is the 'standard' acceleration due to gravity.

This doesn't explain the magic 0x4FE so that needs doing as well.
