Applied (silently fixed continuation line alignment).

Looking at the most recent version of various datasheets for the chips supported
by the driver, looks like TI changed the coefficients (again). Not the first time.
Time to go through all chips and update coefficients. Might be worthwhile
to do that at least for the chips(s) which are of interest for you.

Thanks,
Guenter
