Run `pahole` and act accordingly.

At some point this should use (MICRO / MILLI) instead of MILLI.

Can't we assign the default and always use info->vref_mV here?

Leave it a single line.

I think this patch is overloaded. You need to split it to a series (to make
chip_info a separate preparatory change, for example).
