FWIW, I'm also not a big fan of these tables, and I always feel like
"meh" when I see them.  However, I'm also not a big fan of substituting
them with some kind of formulas, because the SoC TRMs specify exactly
these tables, with some additional notes that the values may change in
future SoC revisions.  In other words, these values may even change at
some point, at least in theory.

With all that in mind, FWIW, I'd rather see these conversion tables
included verbatim in the driver code, because such an approach reduces
the possibilities for some hard-to-spot errors, allows easy, direct
correlation with the TRMs, and should make possible changes to them
in the future easier.
