I see that indeed bits 0-3 are the fractional part.
The measurements are taken over 25 sub-windows and it is possible to
give a weight to each window. If I set all weights to 1 then I expect to get
an integer value and indeed in that case I see that the last 4 bits are always 0.
If I set the weights to other than 1 I get the last 4 bits not only 0.

The UAPI is generally not very good documented mainly because there is currently
no open source userspace that uses it.

There are other places as well.
I see that there are some values in rkisp1_cif_isp_lsc_config that are fractional
and not documented.
The two other fractional types in the uapi are already documented.

I can add a patch that extends the documentation of all the fields in the uapi using the datasheet.
But I think such a patch can be added after de-staging.

Thanks,
Dafna
