It's simpler but we don't know if it's faster (and I don't believe that

If one of these functions starts to be used in the data path, at that
point it could be worth optimising, e.g. by doing a test for queue 0 and
only then doing the pointer arithmetic with its implicit division.

Good catch, my statement above is incorrect. We don't know if this change
is a performance win, and it does introduce an implicit div. I agree this
function is not currently performance critical and is used only by for
reporting values to sysfs.

Best,
