[PATCH v4 08/11 6.1.y] minmax.h: use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() for the lo < hi test in clamp()

From: Eliav Farber <hidden>
Date: 2025-10-03 12:17:38
Also in: amd-gfx, dm-devel, dri-devel, linux-btrfs, linux-input, linux-sunxi, lkml, stable
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: David Laight <redacted>

[ Upstream commit a5743f32baec4728711bbc01d6ac2b33d4c67040 ]

Use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(statically_true(ulo > uhi), ...) for the sanity check
of the bounds in clamp().  Gives better error coverage and one less
expansion of the arguments.
