I figured out how to get the driver to use floating point operations.
I included source code (from an open source math library) for the

Where is the source code to your driver?

Hi Lee,

Be warned. This driver is in the early stages of development. There is
still a lot of work that needs to be done (interrupt, dma, etc, etc).

What? You are using log10 only twice!

if (!(siu_obj_status & ST_OPEN)) {
...
/* = log2(over) */
ydef[22] = (u_int32_t)(log10((double)(over & 0x0000003f)) /
log10(2));
...
}
else {
...
if (coef) {
ydef[16] = 0x03045000 | (over << 26) | (tap - 4);
ydef[17] = (tap * 2 + 1);
/* = log2(over) */
ydef[22] = (u_int32_t)
(log10((double)(over & 0x0000003f)) / log10(2));
}

Don't you think that log10((double)(over & 0x0000003f)) / log10(2)
can have only 64 different values depending on the result of (over & 0x3f)?

Obtain them from precomputed uint32_t log10table[64].
