This is taken from stv0367dd aswell, the reported and calculated values are in 0.1dB precision. This and to not diverge any more from the "source" driver, I'd prefer to keep it how it is. These are just simple tuner cards anyway and by no means professional measurement gear, and should only give a more or less rough estimate on reception quality. E.g. my stv0367 cards report around 36dB SNR, whereas the cxd2841er reports ~37dB, compared to my DOCSIS modem, which reports 34dB on DOCSIS channels (another variant I had earlier even reported 39dB on the same channels), so... Even, we get way more precision than on the relative scale calc on the cab_read_snr functions which is in 10%-steps...

Will check and experiment. Again, taken from stv0367dd :-)
