Hmm... I think you are right and I stand corrected.

OK, it's not do {} while

		i = ARRAY_SIZE(tcs3472_intr_pers);
		while (i--) {
			if (period > cycle_us * tcs3472_intr_pers[i])
				break;
		}

if I am not mistaken... OTOH, the for-loop is in the original code, perhaps
better to leave this approach and change separately if needed.
