Hi Fabio and Julia,

Thank you very much for looking at my changes.

Hi Karolina,

I think you are using redundant parentheses in "* (data ++)" but
understand that those increments and dereferences are equivalent to 
"* data ++" (according to the C precedence rules).
Yes, I added them on purpose to improve readability (+ that's also my
preference anyway)
While we are at it, please notice that Maintainers of different
subsystems may see this topic from a different point of view and that
they might very well ask you for removing those redundant
parentheses.
I understand, thanks for letting me know.

Would it be better as data[i] ?

Could there be a better name than "data"?  Perhaps "table"?
Hmm, now when I'm thinking about, it indeed looks like a better option.
I would even say that `data` (or `table`/`init_table`) can be only used
in the AL7320 case and we can go with `al2230_init_table` for AL2230.
The line would be 61 characters long, way below the limit.

What do you think?


Many thanks,
Karolina
