[RFC] staging: vt6656: Add formula to the vnt_rf_addpower function

From: Oscar Carter
Date: Mon Apr 13 2020 - 10:02:44 EST


Use a formula to calculate the return value of the vnt_rf_addpower
function instead of the "if" statement with literal values for every
case.

What is the better approach for this function ? Leave it as is or use
a formula although it is less clear.

I prefer the formula as it is a more compact function.
What do you think ? Feedback wellcome.

Thanks,
Oscar Carter
