Hmm, right. I guess I'd try to rearrange this to iterate the
registers directly instead of the phases and taps. Something
like this perhaps:

static int cnl_coef_tap(int i)
{
	return i % 7;
}

static u16 cnl_coef(int t)
{
	return t == 3 ? 0x0800 : 0x3000;
}

static void cnl_program_nearest_filter_coefs(void)
{
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < 17 * 7; i += 2) {
		uint32_t tmp;
		int t;

		t = cnl_coef_tap(i);
		tmp = cnl_nearest_filter_coef(t);

		t = cnl_coef_tap(i + 1);
		tmp |= cnl_nearest_filter_coef(t) << 16;

		intel_de_write_fw(tmp);
	}
}

More readable I think. The downside being all those modulo operations
but hopefully that's all in the noise when it comes to performance.
