Dividing by 1M instead of 22 seems much more logical, indeed :)
It's odd that we are scaling up by 1000, down by 1024*1024, then

inverting and scaling by 10.  I don't know if there is a more succinct 
way to write the intended transformation.

But even without reading the hardware manual to see if the resulting 
scaling is correct, the typo fix is obvious enough to give:
