Thanks for your suggestion! Unfortunately in this case an inline
function is not suitable since FREQ2FBIN() is mostly used for
structure initialization:

static const struct ar9300_eeprom ar9300_default = {
...
        .calFreqPier2G = {
                FREQ2FBIN(2412, 1),
                FREQ2FBIN(2437, 1),
                FREQ2FBIN(2472, 1),
        },
...

Cheers

Matthias
