How did you notice? Do you actually have the hardware and tested it?
I only compile-tested it.

I stumbled upon another driver with the same bug and then used grep to
search for other instances and found about 6 or 7, including this one.
Ok. But this then means, maybe the clamping isn't needed (since nobody complained),
or that nobody noticed because nobody uses the driver any longer.
I think it's a combination of factors: 1) rarely people have this hardware,
especially nowadays, to run more or less new kernel; 2) there are no conditions
happened that this patch fixes in their environments; 3) something else I
missed.
