Hi Hans,

Thank you for the patch.

I wonder if we could add a printk() format specifier for this. Doesn't need
to be done right now though, just an idea.

u8 would suffice. Not that we'd be short of space but still...

Why not just:

	return v >> fraction_bits;

I'd use macros so you could use whatever control types with this without
casting. E.g.

#define V4L2_FP_INTEGER(v, fraction_bits) ((v) >> fraction_bits)

A more generic way to expose this could be to have base and exponent, the
base being 2 in this case. Just an idea. This would of course be a little
bit more difficult to use.
