For the get case it would be a hardware bug to return wrong value.
That's good to harden against but not something I'd consider an urgent bug.

The set case is a different matter. Looks to me like userspace can trivally cause
an overflow.  As such this needs a fixes tag.  Please can you send one in reply
to this email so I can pick it up when taking the patch.

Thanks and good fix!
