From eb1e011a14748a1d9df9a7d7df9a5711721a1bdb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2017 09:49:26 +0100 Subject: average: change to declare precision, not factor Declaring the factor is counter-intuitive, and people are prone to using small(-ish) values even when that makes no sense. Change the DECLARE_EWMA() macro to take the fractional precision, in bits, rather than a factor, and update all users. While at it, add some more documentation. Acked-by: David S.
