Hi Laurent

I will follow your English ;)

Oops indeed. I didn't notice

I think you want to say

- if (fvco < 1000 || fvco > 2048 * 1000 * 1000)
+ if (fout < 1000 || fout > 2048 * 1000 * 1000)

Actually I notcied about this, but I thought it makes
user confuse. Thus, I kept original number.

I'm happy if compiler can adjust it automatically,
if not, I have no objection to modify it but we want to have such comment ?
Because above comment/explain mentions about "fvco", not "fout".

Thank you for your help
