average: change to declare precision, not factor
Declaring the factor is counter-intuitive, and people are prone to using small(-ish) values even when that makes no sense. Change the DECLARE_EWMA() macro to take the fractional precision, in bits, rather than a factor, and update all users. While at it, add some more documentation. Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

+/*
+ * Exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA)
+ *
+ * This implements a fixed-precision EWMA algorithm, with both the
+ * precision and fall-off coefficient determined at compile-time
+ * and built into the generated helper funtions.
+ *
+ * The first argument to the macro is the name that will be used
+ * for the struct and helper functions.
+ *
+ * The second argument, the precision, expresses how many bits are
+ * used for the fractional part of the fixed-precision values.
+ *
+ * The third argument, the weight reciprocal, determines how the
+ * new values will be weighed vs. the old state, new values will
+ * get weight 1/weight_rcp and old values 1-1/weight_rcp. Note
+ * that this parameter must be a power of two for efficiency.
