Sorry about that, new at submitting patches, don't completely know the flow yet.
Does the below format work for you? Hopefully my email client won't mess the patch up.

Subject: [PATCH] staging: s5k3e2fx.c: simplify complexity by factoring

the code was looping, setting s_move[i] to the following calculations

if (actual_step>= 0)
        s_move[i] = ((((i + 1) * gain + 0x200) - (i * gain + 0x200)) / 0x400);
else
        s_move[i] = ((((i + 1) * gain - 0x200) - (i * gain - 0x200)) / 0x400);

but, this code reduces to the expression
	s_move[i] = gain>>  10;

The reason for the complexity was to generate a step function with
integer division and rounding to land on specific values. But these calculations
can be simplified to the following code:

	gain = ((actual_step<<  10) / 5)>>  10;
	for (i = 0; i<= 4; i++)
		s_move[i] = gain;
