Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (lm63) Clamp PWM frequency multiplier to [1, 31]
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 13:21:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727202120.3710948-1-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)

Sashiko is concerned that reading a PWM frequency multiplier outside
the supported range of [1, 31] might result in bad PWM values written
to the chip. Technically, the chip should never return a value with
the upper 3 bits set, so this should never happen. However, it is
unknown if there are LM63 variants where the upper bits of the register
can be written.

Clamp the PWM frequency multiplier value to [1, 31] when reading it
from the chip to avoid the problem.
