We'll see if there are other opinions (before sending a v2)...

Usually, we would declare the array like:

static const int veml3328_scale_vals[4][4][2] ...

in which case this cast would be needed.


Currently, it is `static const int veml3328_scale_vals[4][8]` and
accessed like:

	/* Stride by 2 through the flattened array to match (val, val2) */
	*val = veml3328_scale_vals[it_inx][gain_inx * 2];
	*val2 = veml3328_scale_vals[it_inx][gain_inx * 2 + 1];

Normally, we would do that like:

	*val = veml3328_scale_vals[it_inx][gain_inx][0];
	*val2 = veml3328_scale_vals[it_inx][gain_inx][1];
