See the cover letter. It works OK in sandbox and I've tested it on
rockchip and exynos also. Is there a fixed-point implementation
somewhere? I remember Acorn had one years ago [1] but I believe it was
written in ARM assembler. Perhaps there is another one somewhere. The
floating point is limited to the one driver that uses this header, so
it doesn't bleed into the build system, etc. and is not built at all
unless that driver is enabled.

Simon
