The 8051 compiler doesn't support 64-bit ints, so the old
code used an iterative method in 32-bit values. That could take
a long time when the frequency was mis-entered in Hz or MHz instead of
kHz.

This direct-computation uses 64-bit ints, but takes a fixed amount of
time for any inputs.

  * The provided 'calibration' value is
  * that needed to tune the radio to precisely 434550kHz.
- * Use that to 'walk' to the target frequency by following
- * a 'bresenham' line from 434550kHz to the target
- * frequency, and updating the radio setting along the way
+ * The relation between value and freq is linear, so
+ * to get the value for an arbitrary frequency:
+ *
+ *     target_value   target_freq
+ *     ------------ = ------------
+ *      cal_value       cal_freq
+ *
+ *                     cal_value * target_freq
+ *     target_value = -----------------------
